Accurate measurements of calcite, quartz, and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) retarder plates were required as part of a project to measure the characteristics of the solar interior. Important criteria were absolute retardation of multiple-order quartz wave plates, uniformity of retardation of relatively thick calcite and ADP plates, and alignment of the crystal optical axis with the polished surfaces of the calcite and ADP plates. Here, procedures for measuring the retardation, the uniformity of retardation, and optical axis alignment of birefringent crystals are discussed, and some measurement results are presented.
