Methods for determining the optical parameters of elliptic retarders

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Two new methods are described for measurement of retardation introduced between the two components of polarized light that passes through an elliptically birefringent retarder. In one method, a quarter-wave-plate compensator is used. In the other, no compensators are needed and the calculations are made from the flux of light that passes through the specimen between a polarizer and an analyzer.
