Lambda/2 Waveplates

Achromatic wave plate is a special kind of Zero Order wave plate, comprised of two wave plates made by two different birefringent materials (e.g. crystal quartz and magnesium fluoride). The existence of chromatic dispersion greatly affects the refractive indices of materials. The two birefringent materials which construct the ...
