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 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein:\n (i) the step of measuring retardance profiles of the plurality of optical elements comprises:\n measuring retardance azimuthal profiles of the plurality of optical elements \n (a) with a polarimeter comprising a light source, at least two optical polarization elements, and a detector capable of detecting polarization changes at the wavelength of interest, \n (b) by rotating at two of said at least two optical polarization elements relative to at least one of said plurality of optical elements; and \n (ii) the step of relatively positioning the optical elements with respect to one another comprises: relatively positioning the optical elements in relative orientations that enhance complementarity between the retardance azimuthal profiles of the optical elements.
