摘要:
Plexiglas (Lucite) is optically anisotropic, it scatters laser light, it has a high transparency for light, and it is economical and easy to cut and polish. Combining these properties, a lot of interesting applications are possible, which are very useful for teaching optics. The demonstration of elliptically polarized light in a direct and impressive way or the easy construction of quarter‐wave or half‐wave retardation plates with exceptional performance are a few examples.
