Polarizer vs Analyzer: Intensity Analysis

The document contains graphs comparing the intensity of light from a laser diode and a plain light source as the angle between a polarizer and analyzer is varied. For the laser diode, the experimental intensity values closely match the theoretical cosine-squared relationship, while the plain light source shows no polarization dependence on angle. Additional graphs show intensity as a function of only the polarizer angle, with the laser diode displaying high intensity variation and the plain light source showing little variation.
