A waveplate, also called a phase retarder, is an optical element that changes the polarization state of light by generating an optical path difference (or phase difference) between two mutually orthogonal polarization components. When the incident light passes through different types of parameter wave plates, the outgoing light is different, and it can be linearly polarized light, elliptically polarized light, circularly polarized light, etc. The main materials of wave plates are birefringent crystals such as quartz, mica, and calcite.
Compound Zero-Order Waveplate, also called compound waveplate, is to glue two multi-order waveplates together, by aligning the fast axis of one waveplate and the slow axis of the other waveplate for use. The full-wave optical path difference is eliminated, and the required optical path difference is left. Gluing the zero-order wave plate can improve the effect of temperature on the wave plate, but it also increases the sensitivity of the retardation of the wave plate to the incident angle and wavelength.
The thickness of the Multiple-Order Waveplate is equal to multiple full-wave thicknesses plus a required retardation thickness. Multistage waveplates are easy to manufacture, but are sensitive to wavelength, temperature, and incident angle.
