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。

反射防止膜は、透過率を増やす、コントラストを高める、またゴースト像の発生を取り除くことによって、光学素子の効率を大幅に改善させます。

Understanding the most common laser sources, modes of operation, and gain media provides the context for selecting the proper laser for your specific application.

The length of a laser resonator determines the laser’s resonator modes, or the electric field distributions that cause a standing wave in the cavity.

偏光板は、特定の偏光を選別するために使用されます。ここでは偏光板(ポラライザー)を理解する際に重要な偏光の原理と仕組みから解説します。
