Abstract
An interferometric characterization of the phase angular shifting produced by rotation of an ion-exchanged glass binary phase plates is presented. The inverse WKB method is used as a starting point to fabricate the phase plates, because such a method can only characterize the phase shift for normal incidence of the light on the plate. A complete phase angular shifting characterization is made by a Mach-Zehnder interferometer where a four-step phase shifting method is used for acquisition of data and a modified Carre algorithm is applied to data processing. The theoretical phase shifting is calculated by using the phase accumulated by a plane wavefront propagating in an axial graded-index media modelling an ion-exchanged glass phase plate. Experimental results present a good agreement with theoretical predictions.
