Optical Zero order Waveplates
Optical Zero order Waveplates
*Zero order waveplates are constructed of two multiple order waveplates with their axes crossed, thus the effect of the first plate is cancelled by the second, except for the residual difference between them. The two multiple order waveplates can be glued together or optically contact.
Zero order waveplates are much less susceptible to wavelength changes, can be up to 2% above or below the design wavelength with little effect on retardation. The waveplates should be considered for more critical application.
Damage threshold is about 100MW/cm2.
*Specifications:
Type: Half Waveplates Quarter Waveplates
Material: Crystal Quartz
Dimension Tolerance: +0.0, -0.1mm
Surface quality: 20/10
Clear Aperture: >90%
Wavefront Distortion: λ/8@632.8nm
Parallelism: 2 arc sec
Retardation tolerance: λ/300
Coating:
