Brewster plates are used in laser cavities to polarize the light with the smallest amount of power loss possible (see figure). Suppose the laser cavity is filled with air (n = 1) and the Brewster's plate is made of glass (ng = 1.47). (a) What is the angle the normal to the plate must make with respect to the laser beam, θB, if the polarization of the reflected light is maximized? Answer in radians. (b) If instead this were a dye laser, whose cavity is filled with a liquid solution with ns = 1.3. What is the angle, θB, in radians?
