Description
Waveplates are used in the synthesis and analysis of polarized light. Quarter waveplatestransform linearly polarized light into circularly polarized light, and vice-versa. Half waveplates rotate the plane of polarization of linearly polarized light through any angle. They also convert leftcircularly polarized light into right circularly polarized light, and vice-versa. Multiple Order Waveplates are made from a single crystalline quartz plate. Retardation varies quickly with wavelength, thus they are generally useful only at their design wavelength. Retardation is also a function of plate thickness and is slightly temperature dependent due to thermal expansion
TO ORDER : Specify part number as follows: Substrate Code + Design Wavelength Code + Coating
Code Ex: 20.0mm diameter; λ/2; 515nm; Narrowband AR on 1 sides: WP 202 M 051 NA 1
Other specifications and wavelengths can be provided upon request. Please contact our sales department for assistance.
