Disadvantages of MDM: Uneven dispersion - violet wavelengths are spread out more than
the red ones.
Rayleigh effect - violet-blue wavelengths are scattered more than the red wavelengths (the violet part of the spectrum appears less intense than in standard spectrum charts/spectroscopic tables).
Advantages of RPL versus MDM:
It is not restricted to solid materials of triangular shape.
The local non-homogeneity of the material is not a problem. Only a
locally smooth surface is necessary for having specular reflection.
It does not require experimental data exactly at the Brewster angle, but within a range of about 1°.

A capacitor voltage lower than 0.5V aligns the electric dipoles on the dielectric surface along the E-field of the laser. The polarized dipoles reduce the net charge on the plates, and implicitly the capacitance.
The decrease in the electric permittivity is actually the effect of an increase in the inertial resistance of the dipoles to the alignment under the influence of the probe laser due to the presence of a relative weak capacitor voltage.
The E-field of the laser ispolarized at 45 degrees.
