Lecture

Quartz Birefringence: Thickness and Polarization

Description

This lecture discusses the birefringence of quartz with refractive indices, the minimum thickness for a quartz plate to act as a quarter-wave plate, and the linear polarization of light transmitted through a quarter-wave plate. It also covers the change in polarization direction when the rotation sense of incident circularly polarized light is reversed.
