Magneto-Optical Beam Combining — 5-Phase Validation Program
Verify that light intensity through a rotating polarizer follows the cos²(θ) curve predicted by Malus's Law. This is the foundation for all polarization-based beam routing in the DayLux system.
Use a 10mm Polarizing Beam Splitter (PBS) cube to combine two orthogonally polarized laser beams into a single output beam with minimal loss. Proves the core beam combining principle.
Demonstrate that a magnetic field rotates the polarization plane of light passing through a glass rod (Faraday effect). Stack ring magnets around a borosilicate glass rod and measure intensity change through crossed polarizers.
Replace permanent magnets with a coil electromagnet. Sweep current from 0–2A and measure polarization rotation as a function of current. This proves electronically-controlled beam routing — the core DayLux patent claim.
Take the system outdoors. Use two 200mm Fresnel lenses (f/0.5, 100mm focal length) to concentrate real sunlight through the polarization control system and measure output on small solar panels. This is the full proof-of-concept for DayLux solar light routing.
