Page 2 - Quartz Waveplates

A Quarter Waveplate is used to convert linearly polarized beams into circularly polarized beams (and vice versa). The construction of a Quarter Waveplate is such that the fast axis, indicated by the marked line, lies in the surface at 45° to the input polarization. The input beam is resolved into two components of equal ...

A waveplate or retarder is an optical device that alters the polarization state of a light wave travelling through it. Two common types of waveplates are the half wave plate and the quater wave waveplate. Waveplates are constructed out of a birefringent material, such as quartz, for which the index of refraction is different for ...

This waveplate is a special kind of multi order waveplate. Dual wavelength waveplate is designed to be used in dual wavelength setups, for example, it can be operated as a quarter waveplate @1064nm and as a half waveplate @532nm at the same time. It\'s always used to manage the states of polarization of laser beams to obtain maximum ...

Multiple order waveplate means the retardance of a light path will undergo a certain number of full wavelength shifts in addition to the fractional design retardance. The thickness of multi order waveplate is always around 0.5mm. Compared with zero order waveplate, multi order waveplate is more sensitive to wavelength and temperature ...

Air spaced zero order waveplate is constructed by two quartz plates installed in a mount, to form a air gap between the two quartz plates. The difference in thickness between the two plates determines the retardance. Zero order waveplates offer a substantially lower dependence on temperature and wavelength change than multi-order ...
