Abstract: We report a new design for temperature-stable polarization modulators. Each modulator is composed of two liquid crystal variable retarders (LCVRs) positioned in such a way that their temperature drifts mutually compensate. We propose a model… read more here.

Abstract: We have previously reported a new design for drift-free liquid-crystal polarization modulators (LCMs) based on liquid-crystal variable retarders (LCVRs). Here, we study their performance on Stokes and Mueller polarimeters. LCMs have polarimetric responses similar to… read more here.
