Abstract
Achromatic wave plates are ideal components for use with tunable and multiline laser systems, broadband sources, and in astronomical instrumentation. The present study deals with the design and characteristics of two different quarter-wave achromatic retarders in the 500–700 nm range, using a cascaded system of two birefringent plates. The first of these shows a variation of less than
