Abstract
A variable polarisation compensator has been designed and demonstrated expe rimentally at 100GHz. The device uses two silicon plates with interlocking artificial dielectric surfaces to produce a birefringence that varies with the separation distance. The experimental results indicate a maximum differ ential phase-shift of 74(degrees). and show good agreement with computer si mulations.
