A Millimeter-Wave Achromatic Half Wave Plate
We have constructed an achromatic half wave plate (AHWP) suitable for the millimeter wavelength band. The AHWP was made from a stack of three sapphire a-cut birefringent plates with the optical axes of the middle plate rotated by 50.5 degrees with respect to the aligned axes of the other plates. The measured modulation efficiency of the AHWP at 110 GHz was 96 ± 1.5%. In contrast, the modulation...

متن کاملMAXIPOL’s Half Wave Plate Polarimetry
MAXIPOL was the first experiment to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background with a rotating half wave plate. We discuss the magnitude and sources for instrumental polarization and polarization rotation in the instrument.
متن کاملBroadband millimetre-wave passive spatial combiner based on coaxial waveguide
A broadband millimetre-wave passive spatial combiner using a microstrip probe array and an oversized coaxial waveguide is successfully designed and tested. The equivalent circuit approach of transverse electromagnetic (TEM) lines is adopted to synthesise the coaxial stepped impedance transformer from a K connector with the oversized coaxial waveguide and to analyse the microstrip probe array. T...
متن کاملBroadband infrared meanderline reflective quarter-wave plate.
We present a novel reflective quarter-wave plate comprised of subwavelength meanderline elements. The device is operational over the long-wave infrared (LWIR) spectrum, with significant spectral and angular bandwidths. Power reflection is approximately 70% over the majority of the LWIR. Efficient conversion from a 45° linear polarization state into circular polarization is demonstrated from fin...
