A New Quarter-Wave Compensator

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A modified quarter-wave compensator is described. The chief feature of the new arrangement is the “variable” half-shade plate whereby the accuracy of measuring very small phase-differences is increased. The new compensator is especially useful to calibrate compensators of the “variable order” type.
