The retardance of an achromatic retarder may vary in the working frequency range and therefore deviate from its nominal value. In a rotatable retarder and fixed polarizer (RRFP) Stokes polarimeter, the retardance deviation of the retarder will result in significant measurement errors of the Stokes v...
