Equivalent Linearly Rotating Plates Constructed by Variable Plates
可变波片构造等效线性可转波片的研究

Variable retardation plates(VRP) were analyzed by quaternion theory and equivalent rotatable quarter-wave plates and rotatable half-wave plates were constructed from sequences of adjustable linear retarders with fixed retardation axes.To avoid reset,a polarization controller(PC) based on adjustable linear retarders using polarization controlling algorithm for rotatable plates was proposed and demonstrated.Simulation results show that the 4-plate polarization controller can transform any varying general inpu...
