英文摘要：

Liquid crystal phase retarder（ LCVR） is a newpolarization state control device. Correct calibration of its photoelectric characteristics significantly effects the precise optical polarization measurements based on this device. A newtesting method including only one polarizer was proposed by modeling light intensity,phase retardation and eigen-axis azimuth. Without rotating any component,multiwavelength retardations can be rapidly acquired using this simply structured method. In addition,this newsetup can be integrated into other polarization measuring instruments for on-line calibration of LCVR. Experimental results showthat the repeatability of measured retardations is better than 5‰,while the resolution of eigen-axis azimuth is better than 0. 1°.
