True Zero Order Waveplate-Single Plate

This type of waveplate is made of a very thin quartz waveplate which function as true zero order. As the  plate is very thin, it's easy to break during operation.

• Single Plate 
• Wide Angle Acceptance
• AR Coated, R<0.2%
• High Damage Threshold 
• Better Temperature Bandwidth
• Wide Wavelength Bandwidth

Standard Wavelength:
λ/4: 1310nm, 1480nm, 1550nm
λ/2: 980nm, 1064nm, 1310nm, 1480nm, 1550nm

True Zero Order Waveplate- Cemented

This type of waveplate is constructed of a true zero order waveplate and a BK7 substrate. As the waveplate is very thin and easy to be damaged,the BK7 plates function is to strengthen the wavepalte.

• Cemented by Epoxy  
• Wide Angle Acceptance
• AR Coated, R<0.2%
• Better Temperature Bandwidth
• Wide Wavelength Bandwidth

Standard wavelength:
λ/4: 532nm, 632.8nm, 780nm, 808nm, 980nm, 1064nm, 1310nm, 1480nm, 1550nm
λ/2: 532nm, 632.8nm, 780nm, 808nm, 980nm, 1064nm, 1310nm, 1480nm, 1550nm
