Short example sentences

This is called a zero-order waveplate. (7 words)

For a single waveplate changing the wavelength of the light introduces a linear error in the phase. (17 words)

Principles of operation A waveplate works by shifting the phase between two perpendicular polarization components of the light wave. (19 words)

Longer example sentences

The waveplate is characterized by the amount of relative phase, Γ, that it imparts on the two components, which is related to the birefringence Δn and the thickness L of the crystal by the formula : where λ 0 is the vacuum wavelength of the light. (45 words)

The behavior of a waveplate (that is, whether it is a half-wave plate, a quarter-wave plate, etc.) depends on the thickness of the crystal, the wavelength of light, and the variation of the index of refraction. (38 words)

If the axis of polarization of the incident wave is chosen so that it makes a 0° with the fast or slow axes of the waveplate, then the polarization will not change, so remains linear. (35 words)
