Achromatic polarization rotator is a kind of optical element which can rotate the polarization angle of incident polarized light
its optimized aim is the same rotational angle for the polarized light through the rotator in wider wavelength range. In this paper
we present two kinds of achromatic polarization rotators. One is composed of six wave plates. The other is composed of four wave plates. TechWiz LCD 1D software is used for simulation. The transmittance of the polarization rotator composed of four wave plates can reach more than 99.75%
and the light leakage is lower than 0.15%. The transmittance of achromatic polarization rotator composed of six wave plates can reach 99.8%~99.95%
and the light leakage is lower than 0.12%. Moreover
when the thickness of the wave plate change within a certain range
the transmittance is not affected. The results show that the achromatic polarization rotator can realize the change of the polarized light in the orthogonal direction
and its structure design
parameter setting are simple
besides the achromatic performance is better
which meets the basic requirements of achromatic polarization rotator.
