In PPS experiments, in contrast to conventional intensity spectroscopy, the light should be separated into two orthogonal linearly polarized components, and the intensities of each component should be determined with high accuracy. Since, in many cases, polarization degree is a couple of percent, uncertainty in the intensity determination should be low. Therefore, instrumentation is a very important element in PPS. In the visible-uv wavelength region, PPS observation can be practiced relatively easily, because various polarization selection optical components and detectors with high efficiency are available.
