Abstract
We provide a technique for a broadband nonreciprocal wave retarder whose quarter-wave plate phase retardation is the same in forward and backward directions. The system is built using a number of sequential nonreciprocal wave plates. The proposed device can also be utilized to create a broadband optical diode, which consists of two achromatic quarter-wave plates, one reciprocal and the other non-reciprocal, that are sandwiched between two polarizers aligned in parallel.
