Cellophane film as half wave retarder of wide spectrum
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract In this work, we introduce the use of a cellophane film as a half wave retarder plate of wide spectrum. Using a commercial arc lamp as a light source, we have characterized a cellophane film as half wave plate retarder in the spectral range from λ=400 to 700 nm. In addition, we made similar characterizations for several commercial laser emission lines. Although this film behaves as other commercial half wave plate retarder devices, it has the advantages of a low cost and an easy availability.
