Title

Demonstration Of A Single-Layer Meanderline Phase Retarder At Infrared

Abstract

Meanderline wave plates are in common use at radio frequencies as polarization retarders. We present initial results of a gold meanderline structure on a silicon substrate that functions at a wavelength of 10.6μm in the IR. The measured results show a distinct change in the polarization state of the incident beam after passing through the device, inducing a 74° phase retardance between horizontal and vertical components. A high degree of polarization (88%) is maintained in the transmitted beam with an overall power transmittance of 38% and a beam profile that remains essentially unchanged. © 2006 Optical Society of America.
