Independent controlling of polarization states of two beams with different wavelengths
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new method for independent polarization control of two light beams with different wavelengths using birefringent plates with controlled axis orientation relative to each other and liquid crystal cells with the fixed axis orientation but controlled phase retardations.

Designing chromatic optical retarder stacks for segmented next‐generation easySTED phase plates
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed an easy STED phase plate to find the desired spectral signature for combinations of multiple wavelengths for beam-scanning STED nanoscopy methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Composite polarization systems for independent controlling polarization of two beams with different wavelengths.
TL;DR: A method and device for independent and simultaneous control of the polarization state at two wavelengths is proposed and theoretically proved the possibility of maintaining the phaseshift at the first wavelength unchanged while simultaneously and independently changing the phase shift at the second wavelength from 0 to 180 degrees.

Achromatic combinations of birefringent plates. Part II. An achromatic quarter-wave plate
TL;DR: In this paper, an achromatic quarter-wave plate is obtained by superposing three birefringent plates of the same material; the first and last should have the same retardation 2δ1 their fast vibration directions being parallel to one another but inclined at a specific angle c to that of the central plate-of retardation π.

Achromatic quarter-wave plates using the dispersion of form birefringence
TL;DR: A achromatic quarter-wave plate whose retardation errors are smaller than 3 degrees for a +/-10% change in wavelength is proposed, and the wave plates designed were evaluated by numerical calculation with a rigorous electromagnetic grating theory.

A Critical Evaluation of Rhomb-Type Quarterwave Retarders
TL;DR: The classical version of the Fresnel rhomb can be optimized to improve its performance, and several of the more recent rhomb designs have excellent characteristics.

Quarter-wave retardation systems based on the Fresnel rhomb principle
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed investigation of the performance of the Fresnel rhomb is given, particular attention being paid to the effect of residual stress birefringence in the rhomb material and of films on the surfaces at which total internal reflection occurs.
