Abstract

When a linearly polarized, polychromatic plane wave of light is normally incident on a birefringent plate whose faces are principal planes, the transmitted light is in general partially polarized. For this problem the degree of polarization of the transmitted light has been investigated for incident beams with specific spectral profiles.^1,2
