+\section{Adjustable periscopes}  % ----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+Our light sources take on horizontal or vertical polarizations according to which tuning process is
+used.  %
+Our experiments are opinionated about polarization, so some strategy for aligning polarization is
+necessary.  %
+Desire fully reflective, easy to switch without changing path length (delay) etc... For several
+years, we used brewster-angle polarization unifiers...  %
+These worked by...  %
+But these were very difficult to align, and they were too lossy for some of the weaker tuning
+processes.  %
+As an alternative, we designed a more traditional periscope with adjustability for our unique
+needs.  %
