Zero Order Waveplates - True Zero Order (TZO) and Effective Zero Order (ZO) - Alien Photonics
Description
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 bas) of pure retardance of less than 1λ.
Effective Zero Order (ZO) Waveplate construction involves combining two multiple-order waveplates with their optical axes aligned orthogonally to each other. This design approach minimizes the effects of temperature fluctuations and wavelength changes on the phase shift, ensuring reliable and consistent performance across various conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
From 120-150 EUR/pc for small batches. Price may vary based on several factors (batch size, required quality, mounting etc.)
We ship stock zero order waveplates in about 1-3 days. If Alien Photonics needs to produce the waveplates, it could take up to 4-6 weeks depending on complexity.
