A UV Zeeman-effect polarizer
It is shown that light emitted by mercury vapour at 253.7 nm can be polarized by passing the light through mercury absorption gas embedded in a magnetic field which is transverse to the direction of propagation of the light. The absorption lines of the mercury are split by the Zeeman effect, so that...
