Product Overview

Set retardance and axis alignment for Broadband Achromatic Quartz Wave Plate

Polarization performance is tied to wavelength, orientation and retardance or extinction data. Mount the optic with its active axis and coated faces identified.

Select by the full design band rather than a single center wavelength and verify retardance tolerance across that band.

Polarization behavior

Polarization performance is tied to wavelength, orientation and retardance or extinction data. Mount the optic with its active axis and coated faces identified.

Selection and alignment

Select by the full design band rather than a single center wavelength and verify retardance tolerance across that band.

Need a different diameter, tolerance or coating?

Custom substrate materials, dimensions, angular tolerances and coating bands can be reviewed for prototype and production quantities.
