Abstract

We suggest and experimentally demonstrate a broadband polarization rotator.Our device consist of a Fresnel's rhomb retarder and a composite broadband half-wave plate with relative rotation α between their fast polarization axis.Such a optical device rotate the polarization plane of a linearly-polarized light at angle 2α over a wide range of wavelengths.
