To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In this arrangement the refracting edge of the first prism is perpendicular to the optic axis, but the face upon which the light falls perpendicularly is parallel to the axis. In all other respects the arrangement is the same as in Eochon's prism. Both rays are coloured at their edges, for both are deviated from their original direction. Methods of producing elliptically, or circularly, polarised light have been already indicated. They all depend upon the introduction of a difference of phase b...etween the two rectangularly polarised com- ponents of a beam of light. This difference may be produced by transmission through a doubly refracting plate. When the plate is of such thickness as to produce a difference of phase of a quarter- period, the light is circularly polarised provided that the two beams are of equal intensity. Such a plate is termed a quarter-wave plate. The difference of phase may also be produced by reflection or refraction as in FresneVs rhomb. This consists of a parallelepiped of St.
