Abstract: <p>This thesis comprises two parts:Part I describes a method to improve the accuracy with which the polarization
state of light can be characterized by the rotating quarter-wave plate technique.
Through detailed analysis, verified by experiment, we determine the positions of the
optic axes of the retarder and linear polarizer, and the wave plate retardance, to
better than 1° for typical… more
