Objective: For solar magnetic field telescope with birefringent filter system
the quality of filter directly affects the line shape
and then the measurement of solar magnetic field. Method: According to the property of uniaxial crystal
the ray tracing method can be used to study the transmission law of ray in the filter system. With this method the ray trace
phase and vibration can be expressed by incident angle
azimuth and crystal parameters. Combining with the polarization interference theory
the effect of different error sources on the line shape can be analyzed by computer program. This method provides a reliable basis for the development of filter. Result: The maximum relative error is 0.7%
comparing with Evans equation
which demonstrates the exactitude of method in this paper.
