Waveplates

Waveplates

Waveplate is an optical device that alters the polarization state of a light wave travelling through it. Two common types of waveplates are the half-wave plate, which shifts the polarization direction of linearly polarized light, and the quarter-wave plate, which converts linearly polarized light into circularly polarized light and vice versa.  A quarter-wave plate can be used to produce elliptical polarization as well.
