The HS LCVR high-speed liquid-crystal variable retarder achieves submillisecond speeds using nematic liquid-crystal materials to electrically control polarization and provide tunable retardation by changing the effective birefringence of the material with applied voltage, thus altering the input polarized light to any chosen elliptical, linear, or circular polarization.
