18. At λ= 589 nm, a retardation value of 64 nm (as measured in Fig. 4) is equivalent to a λ/9 waveplate. Assuming a linear increase in retardation with thickness, a 2.1 μm ITO film deposited at α = 65° would act as an extremely common piece of polarization optics, a quarter-wave plate for λ= 589 nm incident light (when viewed at the appropriate angle). Numerous companies - such as Melles Griot Inc, Oriel Instruments, Newport Corp, and CVI Laser LLC - supply waveplates and sheet retarders with retardation values in the range of 50 nm and above.

32. This coating was deposited at normal incidence while continuously rotating the substrate, and thus we have included it in the series of uniaxial vertical coatings represented in Figure 8 as crosses. Since this coating was deposited at normal incidence, its electrical resistivity is plotted on the figure at a deposition angle of zero degrees.
