Abstract

A method to determine the fast axis of a retarder using a double path interferometer (such as a Michelson interferometer) is proposed. We have related the rotation of the retarder and, consequently, of its fast axis, with the lateral displacement of the interference fringes. The robustness of the method has also been studied in various situations in which the as sembly presents errors or non-ideal optical elements.
