Background
Light is a transverse wave and has a polarization characteristic. Depending on the nature of the polarization state change of light as it propagates through the polarizer, one can change its polarization state as desired. With the deepening research on the polarization of light, polarization is found to have a wide application prospect, so that the polarization technology starts to enter a practical stage. The polarization information can be used for detecting targets and plays an important role in the fields of meteorological detection, ground object remote sensing detection, underwater space detection, astronomical detection, medical diagnosis, image processing, military application and the like; particularly in the field of quantum communication, the polarization state of photons is utilized to replace a classical binary code (bit) to carry and encode different information, and the quantum key distribution can be realized by combining a quantum entanglement effect, so that the aim of quantum secret communication is fulfilled, for example, a transmitted ink quantum communication satellite is successfully developed before China. Therefore, how to better apply the polarization information of light is an intense research and development direction, and researchers are required to continuously research and develop improvements, and the obtained research results have a wide application field.
The wave plate is an optical element commonly used in the field of polarization optics, and is a polarization optical device made based on the birefringence characteristics of crystals, which is also called a phase retarder. It can change the polarization state of light by generating an additional optical path difference (or phase difference) which is coupled to two perpendicular components of the polarized light to change the polarization state of light, and the optical path difference is called the phase retardation of the wave plate. Commonly used wave plates are the 1/4 wave plate and the 1/2 wave plate. The phase delay characteristic of the wave plate can change the polarization state of light, and can be applied to the fields of optical fiber communication, photoelastic mechanics, polarization state detection of light wave, various polarized light technologies and the like, and the application prospect is very wide. At present, there are widely used a block-shaped wave plate and an optical fiber wave plate, in which the block-shaped wave plate is a parallel sheet having a uniform thickness formed by cutting a uniaxial crystal along an optical axis direction. The block-shaped wave plate is divided into a true zero-order wave plate, a multi-order wave plate, a glued zero-order wave plate and an achromatic wave plate according to the manufacturing process. The optical fiber wave plate is made of birefringent optical fiber, and is divided into stress birefringent optical fiber and geometric birefringent optical fiber.
