True Zero-Order Waveplates

Material: High grade quartz crystals.
Designed to give a retardation of the exact fraction of a
  wavelengh.
Made of an extremely thin single crystal plate.
Optically robust with a high damage threshold.
Large wavelength and temperature bandwidths.
Suitable for high power broadband applications.

Waveplates for other wavelengths or with different dimensions or with a non-standard retardation can be fabricated by Newlight Photonics Inc.. Please contact us for the waveplates that best suit your applications.

Mount

True zero-order waveplates are extremely thin ( < 100µm) and always mounted in an OD 1" ( 25.4mm ) or OD 30.0mm anodized aluminum (Al) holder.
