摘要：

Liquid crystal phase retarder (LCVR) is a new polarization state control device. Correct calibration of its photoelectric characteristics significantly effects the precise optical polarization measurements based on this device. A new testing method including only one polarizer was proposed by modeling light intensity, phase retardation and eigen-axis azimuth. Without rotating any component, multi wavelength retardations can be rapidly acquired using this simply structured method. In addition, this new setup can be integrated into other polarization measuring instruments for on-line calibration of LCVR. Experimental results show that the repeatability of measured retardations is better than 5 parts per thousand, while the resolution of eigen-axis azimuth is better than 0.1 degrees.
