Retarders modify the polarization state of light by introducing a phase shift between two orthogonal polarization components. This phase shift is typically expressed in units of the wavelength (λ). The most common types are the λ/2 (half-wave) retarder, which is used to rotate the orientation of linear polarization, and the λ/4 (quarter-wave) retarder, which is used to convert linear polarization into circular polarization and vice versa.
