The bottomleft shows the associated spectral transmission functions for each pair pf phase retarder and prism, and the right inset shows the spectral response for each bandpass channel. P, polarizer; PR, phase retarder; WP, Wollaston prism; PSin, input polarization state; PSout, output polarization state.
