Polarizing Test: Files where collected with the polarizer, which is a filter on a rotation stage, illuminated by the Oriel incandescent source via the Spectralon sphere. This has the MOBY Es Head #40 cleaned and connected to long FO #500. Mike suggested recreating the polarization parameter, P from the SIRREX7 section 7.3.3 and compare with their Table 11 results. The table at the bottom recreates the table 11 from the SIRREX7 paper. The plots of the data below show not polarization effect.
