Achromatic (broadband) waveplates - HWP and QWP - High Energy - Alien Photonics
Description
Achromatic (Broadband) Waveplates. Half and quarter waveplates rotate or convert polarization over wide wavelength range with low dependance.
Standard Achromatic (Broadband) Waveplates
Made from two waveplates of different materials (MgF₂ and Quartz). This construction allows to achieve near-constant retardation throughout whole designed wavelength range.
Super Achromatic (Broadband) Waveplates
These waveplates are constructed from several waveplates and materials. Sandwich-like construction minimizes chromatic dispersion and ensures even more constant retardation throughout whole designed wavelength range

Features
Achromatic (Broadband) Waveplates construction:
- Glued (cemented) Achromatic Waveplate
- Optical contact - bonded Achromatic Waveplate
- Air-spaced Achromatic Waveplate
Applications
- Half-Wave (HWP, λ/2) achromatic (broadband) waveplate is designed to introduce a half-wavelength phase shift between two orthogonal polarization components of light over a wide wavelength range, making the phase shift nearly independent of the light's wavelength.
- Achromatic (broadband) quarter-wave (QWP, λ/4) waveplate enables the conversion of linearly polarized light to circularly polarized light, or vice versa, across broad range of wavelengths.
