Dispersion is the dependence of the phase velocity or phase delay of light on another parameter, such as wavelength, propagation mode, or polarization.

The short pulse durations of ultrafast lasers lead to broad wavelength bandwidths, making ultrafast systems especially susceptible to dispersion and pulse broadening.

波長板と位相差板の用語、仕様、製作、構造。及び、正しい波長板の選定やアプリケーション事例について。位相差板としても知られる波長板は、光を透過し、ビームを減衰、偏位、あるいは変位させることなく、その偏光状態を修正します。波長板は、偏光の一つの成分をそれが直交する成分に対して位相を遅らせる (遅延させる) ことによって偏光状態を変化させます。
