International Journal of Infrared and Millimeter Waves Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A review is given of different types of quarter wave plates as presently used in the optical and microwave spectral range, with a view to their application in the sub-mm wave-length range. Two types of quarter wave plates have been constructed and results of measurements at 640μm are given.
