dc.description.abstract	Following Jones Calculus, a comprehensive theory of the Babinet Compensator has been presented. The performance of the system governed by the compensator-Polaroid unit, has been evaluated in terms of fringe visibility. Criteria have been evolved for the proper choice of the compensator and the polariod pair for optimizing the accuracy of measurements.	en
