Abstract
In order to study Jones matrix of a phase retarder, a unified expression of the Jones matrix was got by means of theoretical derivation and analysis,and some Jones matrices in some literature was revised and explained.For a λ/n wave-plate, the effect of the phase retardation on Jones matrix was analyzed and verified with the methods of theoretical analysis and experimental verification.The results show that thickness of the wave-plate and material property have the same effect on the linearly polarized light, but have different effect on Jones matrix are different. When the fast-axis is at an angle of θ with x-axis, only the former affects Jones matrix.
