I am trying to define a Phase Retarding Mirror in NS mode that transform diagonal polarized light into circular polarized light.
We managed to create a working model using Arp Ars on the coating definition, but if I rotate the mirror on the Z axis, there is no change on the outgoing polarization state.
Is there a more accurate way to define the retardance of the mirror?
Could you use a Jones Matrix object?
Take care,
David
That seems to be in fact the best alternative.
I would have liked to use a more physical description, but the Jones Matrix will do.
Thank you very much,
Daniel
I don’t know what you are trying to achieve, but this might be relevant as well (although the article is for sequential mode):
The non-sequential mode can also handle birefringence through Object Properties..Index..Birefringent as discussed here:
Take care,
David
The design we want to implement is for a phase retarding mirror. Therefore a birefringent plate is not applicable.
Unless I place it top of the mirror and make it double pass.
