Extended Data Fig. 7: Polarization measurements of a laser beam.
From: Colloidal quantum dots enable tunable liquid-state lasers

The emission intensity collected through a linear polarizer as a function of the polarizer angle (green circles) shown using polar coordinates. The dotted line represents the ideal sin2(α) dependence expected for a perfectly linearly polarized beam. These measurements indicate a high degree of linear polarization of 0.95.
