コリメート光とは、ビーム内のどの光線もが他の全ての光線と平行になっている状態を表します。コリメート光を作るには、正の焦点距離をもつ光学系から焦点距離分離れた位置に非常に小さな光源を配置するか、或いは無限遠から点光源を観察するかのいずれかで可能になります。

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。
