Phase plates – phase retarders

Mуkola Malysh Mуkola Kulish

The principles of operation, technical characteristics of phase plates are considered. A comparison of their properties was made. The main areas of their application are discussed. The purpose of research: to analyze the principle of operation of phase plates, to compare their technical characteristics. The research method is theoretical. It has been established that phase plates are used to analyze or control the polarization of light in a relatively narrow spectral region. In systems in which small dimensions and weight play the main role, for example in optical telecommunications, phase plates should be preferred.
