T = 1 1 + 4 R ( 1 - R ) 2 sin 2 ( φ - )
In the formula, R is the light intensity reflectivity of the first high reflectance reflecting body 22 and the second high reflectance reflecting body 23, φ -For described forward right-circularly polarized light by of the one way phase shift of the first high reflectance reflecting body 22 through Faraday polarization apparatus 21 to second high reflectance reflecting bodys 23.By moving the micro-displacement apparatus 25 that links with the second high reflectance reflecting body 23, adjust φ -Be the integral multiple of π, make the forward right-circularly polarized light form the complete constructive interference of multiple beam in the Fabry-Perot etalon that contains Faraday polarization apparatus 21, this moment, light intensity transmitance T was a maximal value, realized the purpose of the logical light of forward.The forward right-circularly polarized light is converted into the forward linearly polarized light that the polarization direction is x-y plane one or three quadrant angle bisectors again after too fast axle is for axial second quarter-wave plate 32 of x, be similarly lossless ejaculation behind second linear polarizer 31 of x-y plane one or three quadrant angle bisectors through the direction of shaking thoroughly, become the forward emergent light.
