- You Are Asked To Design A Retarder Plate That Changes Left Hand And Right Hand Circularly Polarized Light Of Wavelength 1 (298.13 KiB) Viewed 35 times
You are asked to design a retarder plate that changes left-hand and right-hand circularly polarized light of wavelength 600.0 nm into two linearly polarized light polarized in x- and y-directions, respectively. A birefringent material is used, and it has the principal indices ne = 1.5533 and no = 1.5442 at wavelength 600.0 nm. (a) What should be the phase difference between the ordinary and extraordinary components? Explain the principle. (4 marks) (b) Find the minimum possible thickness of the retarder plate. (4 marks)
