40-20 Waveplates

Meadowlark Optics’ Liquid Crystal Polarization Gratings utilize spatially varying birefringence to create highly efficient polarization-sensitive gratings. Circularly polarized light can be directed into either the +1 or -1 order depending on the handedness of the incident light. By using a stack of N LCPGs and half-waveplate ...

LVR: These products all use nematic liquid crystal materials to electrically control polarization. Meadowlark Optics standard liquid crystal products provide tunable retardation by changing the effective birefringence of the material with applied voltage, thus altering the input polarized light to any chosen elliptical, linear or ...

Meadowlark’s newest liquid crystal (LC) product, the high speed LC variable retarder (HS LCVR) has a 10X speed improvement over our award-winning standard LCVR. The sub-millisecond speeds are achieved without the 50/50 duty cycle drive scheme required by our ferroelectric liquid crystal components, but are nearly as fast. The ...

Achromatic wave plates are made of birefringent crystals made of two different materials. Since the dispersion of the two materials is different, a relatively uniform phase delay can be achieved over a wide wavelength range. Achromatic wave plates are also not very sensitive to temperature.

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 ...

Mounting: Mounted, Unmounted
Shape: Round, Custom
Size: 7-30 mm
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, ...
