The National Institute of Standards and Technology is developing a quarterwave linear retarder for operation at 1.3 micrometers . It is expected to be stable to within +/- 0.1 degree(s) over practical ranges of wavelength, temperature, and incidence angle. A spectral range of at least 10 nm is desired to accommodate solid-state and diode laser sources and typical wavelength variation. Normal incidence operation with an angular tolerance of +/- 1 degree(s) allows alignment by retroreflection of a collimated input beam. Operation over a temperature range of 25 +/- 10 degree(s)C encompasses most laboratory conditions, and practical rates of temperature change must also be allowed.
