서로 다른 위상지연각을 가지는 두 개의 위상판을 중첩하여 4분파장 위상지연자로 구동시키기 위한 필요조건을 찾고 선편광자와 이들 위상판들의 방위각이 만족해야할 관계식들을 위상지연각들의 함수로 해석적으로 유도하였다. 해석적인 방법으로 구한 각도 관계식들과 Poincare 구상에서의 자취분석을 통해 구한 각도 관계식들이 동일함을 확인하였고 동일한 두 개의 위상판을 사용할 경우 몇가지 응용예를 제시하였다.

This paper describes the construction of a circular polariscope. Generally, a circular polariscope contains four optical elements and a light source. The first element following the light source is called the linear polarizer. It converts the ordinary light into plane-polarized light. The second element is a quarter wave plate which converts the plane-polarized light into circularly polarized light. Following the quarter wave plate, a specimen made of transparent photoelastic material is located in a loading device. The second quarter wave plate is set and the last element is the analyzer. These polarizing elements, two quarter wave plates and two linear polarizing filters, were purchased from the USA. Frames and other structures for holding polarizing filters were machined and assembled to be rotated. Light box, which includes four incandescent lamps and two sodium-vapor lamps, was made. In order to proof the function of the newly built polariscope, Tardy compensation test was applied to a rectangular shaped specimen made of poly-carbonate material (PSM 1). The error of the fringe constant, which was measured by the newly built polariscope, was within 4.4 percent compared to the standard value of this material. It is possible to make a good quality of polariscope if accurate polarizing filters will be used.
