Abstract
In a double cell the values of d..DELTA.n for both the actual cell (10) and the compensation cell (20) having opposite twist angles .phi. are chosen to be such that they are associated with different Gooch & Tarry extrema for a given wavelength. The compensation cell may then be thicker and can be obtained in a simpler manner. A universal compensation cell may alternatively be used.
