14. The partial polarizer is constructed using two birefringent beam displacers (BD), oriented such that, after passing through one such element, |D〉-polarized light is undeviated, while |A〉-polarized light is displaced by 4 mm. The second element recombines these polarizations into the same mode (defined by an iris before the detector). Between the beam displacers is a multielement liquid crystal with a vertically oriented optic axis. The liquid crystal can independently change the polarizations of the displaced modes so that the |D〉 and |A〉 components may be reduced in the partial polarizer's output mode [7].

17. In principle, the trigger filter alone is enough to determine the wavelength of the RPQ; the second filter is used to reduce counts from background fluorescence.
