The indices of refraction for the fast and slow axes of quartz with 546 nm light are 1.5462 and 1.5553, respectively.
a. By what fraction of a wavelength is the e-ray retarded, relative to the o-ray, for every wavelength of travel in the quartz?
b. What is the thickness of a zeroth-order QWP?
c. If a multiple-order quartz plate 0.735 mm thick functions as a QWP, what is its order m?
d. Two quartz plates are optically contacted so that they produce opposing retardations. Sketch the orientation of the OA of the two plates. What should their difference in thickness be such that they function together like a zeroth-order QWP?
