<= Lambda/2 Waveplates

Zero Order Waveplates. Half and quarter single-plate waveplates rotate or convert polarization.  True Zero Order (ZO) Waveplate is single plate (if too thin can be bonded or glued to base) of true retardance of less than 1λ. Effective Zero Order (ZO) Waveplate construction involves construction of two ...

Tower’s 10mm Zero order waveplates provide users with a high performance Crystal Quartz retarder with a clear aperture of 8mm. These waveplates are air spaced, having a stainless steel spacer between two crystal quartz plates that form the zero order capability. Zero order waveplates are far less sensitive to temperature ...

Waveplate is an optic in which the polished faces contain the optical axis. All light incidents normal to the surface are composed of components polarized parallel and perpendicular to the axis. In such a device, light polarized parallel to the axis will propagate slower than light polarized perpendicular to the axis. As the light ...

Achromatic Waveplate   Achromatic waveplate is made from two different substrate materials such as crystal quartz and magnesium fluoride. For the single material,waveplate’s working wavelength is very limited because of the dispersion of the material. But Achromatic Waveplate uses two different kinds of materials,with the ...

Photonchina’s waveplates fabrication starts from quartz materials cutting with their axes oriented within a few arcminutes before being polished to a laser-quality finish, arcsecond parallelism, and <λ/10 wavefront. Their thickness tolerance is a only small fraction of a micron. To verify retardation tolerances, ...

UV-IR Waveplates
Medway Optics Ltd
Waveplates are manufactured from birefringent crystal materials that split monochromatic incoming beam into two orthogonally polarized  beams travelling at different velocities. There will generally be one or more propagation directions (ordinary and extraordinary ray directions) depending on whether the material is ...
