Abstract:
According to some embodiments a method of assembling an optical system comprises steps of: measuring retardance profiles of a plurality of optical elements, relatively positioning the optical elements in relative orientations that enhance complementarity between the retardance profiles of the optical elements, and securing the combinations of relatively oriented optical elements together, to control or minimize the combined retardance of the stacked optical elements.

Claim (Index 6):
A method of assembling an optical system including a plurality of optical elements comprising steps of:\n i) situating at least one optical element between two optical polarization elements; j) providing a light beam incident on said at least one optical element at specified plurality of locations, at specified incident angles, such that the light beam propagates through said at least one optical element and the two optical polarization elements, and is detected by an optical detector; k) rotating at least one of the two optical polarization elements; l) collecting beam intensity data associated with the detected light beam as at least one of the two optical polarization elements is rotated; m) determining polarization state of the detected light beam that propagated through said at least one optical element and two optical polarization elements based on the beam intensity data; n) situating an additional optical element adjacent to said at least one optical element and between the two optical polarization elements; o) repeating steps of providing, rotating, collecting, and determining combined retardance azimuthal profile for a combination of the at least one optical element and the additional optical element; p) relatively positioning the at least one optical element and the additional optical element in relative orientations that enhance complementarity between the retardance azimuthal profiles of said at least one optical element and said additional optical element, thus forming combinations of relatively oriented optical elements, and securing the combinations of relatively oriented optical elements together, to control or minimize retardance of the stacked optical elements forming the optical system.
