Abstract

Design parameters for SiO₂- Si film-substrate single reflection retarders for several mercury spectral lines are presented. An example of an angle-of-incidence tunable retarder (AITR) capable of multiple wavelength operation (MWO) is reported Simple, approximate formulae for calculating film-substrate retarder design parameters (least film thickness d' and incidence angle) are presented.
