Question

Calculate the thickness of a 2/4 and a 2/2 plate required for an operating wavelength of
0.589 um when it is made of
(1) Calcite with n= 1.66584 and n = 1.4864
(11) Quartz with n=1.5442 and
n =1.5574
What would be the difference in the output state of polarization when linearly polarised
wave at 45 ° to the axes of the wave plate is incident on a 2/2 plate made of quartz and
calcite?

Answer:

Calculate the thickness of a 2/4 and a 2/2 plate required for an operating wavelength of

0.589 um when it is made of

(1) Calcite with n= 1.66584 and n = 1.4864

(11) Quartz with n=1.5442 and

n =1.5574

What would be the difference in the output state of polarization when linearly polarised

wave at 45 ° to the axes of the wave plate is incident on a 2/2 plate made of quartz and

calcite?
