Calibration of liquid crystal variable retarders using a common-path interferometer and fit of a closed-form expression for the retardance curve

NP Schnoor, RC Niemeier, AL Woods, JD Rogers - Applied optics, 2020 - opg.optica.org
A liquid crystal variable retarder (LCVR) enables fast, automated control of retardance that
can be used as a variable waveplate in polarimetric instruments. However, precise control of …

Method to calibrate a full-Stokes polarimeter based on variable retarders

I Montes-González, NC Bruce… - Applied Optics, 2019 - opg.optica.org
We present a calibration method for a full-Stokes polarimeter. The polarimeter uses two
liquid-crystal variable retarders (LCVR) and a linear polarizer to measure the four Stokes …

Loss-less passive polarization rectifier design with minimal etendue and size increase

A Zohrabyan, A Bagramyan, T Galstian - Optics Communications, 2025 - Elsevier
We describe an approach allowing the passive rectification of the polarization of light with
approximately the same beam size, minimal increase of the etendue of the beam and with …
