Abstract
The theory of elliptical retardation plates that takes into account a phenomenon of multiple reflections is presented. An analytical form of a transition matrix for a normally incident plane wave is shown. Samp le calculations of phase shift introduced by quartz retardation plates and of the output-beam parameters as a function of plate thickness an d optical axis orientation are done.
