The phase delay of wave plate can be accurately measured by using a mechanics-optics rotatory modulator to modulate the phase between two interference optical beams. The mechanics-optics modulator makes it simple to adjust the optical axis of the quarter wave plate in the instrument and that of the sample being measured. In ordinary condition, the instrument based on this method has relative error less than 5%.
