石英晶体有着较大的温度膨胀系数, 因而温度变化会引起石英晶体制作器件的使用误差。为了减小这种误差, 研究了二元复合式补偿器相位延迟随温度的变化情况。结果表明, 温度变化越大, 波片级数越大, 补偿相位受到的影响也越大; 理论计算表明, 补偿相位在一定的温度范围内与起偏镜转动的角度成线性关系。实验结果与理论结果相一致。该研究结果对于复合补偿器在不同环境下的正确使用有一定的参考价值。

In order to reduce the error caused by the change of temperature, the relation between three-in-one composite compensator's phase retardation and temperature is calculated according to the characteristic of multiple-order quartz wave-plate. The results show that the influence on phase retardation increases with the increase of temperature and order of wave-plate. The phase retardation and the angle that the second wave-plate rotates are in a linear relationship in certain ranges. However, there is also some regularity in nonlinear areas which can be determined by theoretical calculation. The calculated result is well in agreement with experiments.
