The method uses a physical phenomenon of dispersion of the optical rotation for identification of the spectral characteristics of light Polychromatic linearly polarized radiation passes through the environment that rotates a polarization plane of its spectral components, depending on their wavelength. After a subsequent passage through the analyzing polarizer, a dependence of the light intensity S(phi) on the angle phi, that the analyzing polarizer forms with the polarization plane of the analyzed light, is measured. S(phi) is in a mathematical relationship with the spectrum of the analyzed radiation I(lambda), where lambda is a wavelength. S(phi) allows for the determination of the spectral characteristics of the analyzed radiation. In devices based on the above principle, the collimated polarized beam of the analyzed radiation passes first through the optical element that exhibits a dispersion of the optical rotation, i.e. rotator (4), then through the analyzing polarizer (5), and after a projection is detected by a proper detector (7). The detector measures S(phi) as a function of the angle phi of the analyzer. From S(phi) the parameters of the spectrum I(lambda) are determined.
