Summary

A test of the linearity of a photomultiplier has been made using crossed polars as an optical attenuator. An expression is derived that allows for the measurable transmission of a polarizing filter in directions other than the permitted vibration direction. The linearity is shown to be adequate for accurate reflectivity measurement.
