Examples of 'waveplate' in a sentence

A waveplate is an optical device that changes the polarization state of light. It is commonly used in various optical systems

Show more definitions

A thin layer of a birefringent material that is used to introduce a controlled phase shift between the two polarization components of a light wave, thereby altering its polarization

Some embodiments can comprise a liquid crystal waveplate.

The polarizer was a waveplate as previously described and was manually rotated.

In both cases no polarization combiner and no waveplate are used.

A typical waveplate is simply a birefringent crystal with a carefully chosen orientation and thickness.

These directions are thus known as the slow axis and fast axis of the waveplate.

For a single waveplate changing the wavelength of the light introduces a linear error in the phase.

In one embodiment, the polarization modifier is a quarter waveplate.

A waveplate works by shifting the phase between two perpendicular polarization components of the light wave.

Temperature compensation is achieved by measuring a temperature-dependence of the phase shifting waveplate.

Figure 39, shows a schematic of a λ/2 modified waveplate comprising a number of differently orientated sections.

Using a thin slab of that material at normal incidence, one would implement a waveplate.

The reference beam continues to the waveplate 238 which controls the polarization of the laser beam.

Each light source may include a polarising element, such as a linear polariser or waveplate.

The behavior of a waveplate that is, whether it is a half-wave plate, a quarter-wave plate, etc.

In such Figures, each image was taken at a different waveplate setting.
