| Zero Order Waveplates are used for where a thickness
is required to correspond to a zero order phase difference. This
is achieved by constructing the waveplate from two halves with their
fast axes crossed. The thickness of these two halves are chosen
so that the difference in retardation between them is equivalent
to the zero order required. Any variation in temperature, wavelength,
angle of incidence and collimation affects both plates similarly.
Hence these effects are largely cancelled out automatically. |
