A new type of composite quarter-wave system with adjustable parameters has been proposed and investigated experimentally. The first system is a quarter-waveplate with adjustable optical activity and the second system is a quarter-wave plate with an adjustable axis orientation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
