摘要：

We present a design technique of retarders suitable for nonlinear optical systems. A thin sample of LiNbO3 crystal is utilized as a retarder for wide-ranging applications. Analysis shows that the same crystal can be used for single-wave or two-wave retardations, changing the orientation of the crystal only. As an application, the retarder is used to polarize two waves orthogonal, as necessary for difference frequency mixing in an AgGaSe2 crystal. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
