25 August 2005Optical design of wide field of view achromatic phase retarders
The ability of commercial optical design software to ray trace through uni-axial birefrigent materials at any Field Of View (FOV) plus the capability of the optimization routines to select exact birefrigent materials that achromatize compound wave-plates make the software useful for the design of wide FOV multi-element achromatic retarders and analysis of their performance. In this paper I will describe some of the properties that govern retarders made of uni-axial birefrigent materiais, discuss some tips for building the merit function and show results of the various half wave-plate types designed and their performance.
