Low Order Waveplate
A waveplate or retarder is an optical device that alters the polarization state of a light wave travelling through it. Two common types of waveplates are the half wave plate and the quater wave waveplate. Waveplates are constructed out of a birefringent material, such as quartz, for which the index of refraction is different for ...

Zero Order Quarter Waveplate 405 nm
A Quarter Waveplate is used to convert linearly polarized beams into circularly polarized beams (and vice versa). The construction of a Quarter Waveplate is such that the fast axis, indicated by the marked line, lies in the surface at 45° to the input polarization. The input beam is resolved into two components of equal ...

Achromatic Waveplate
Achromatic waveplate is similar to zero order waveplate except that the two plates are made from different birefringent crystals. Since the dispersion of the birefringence of two materials is different, it is possible to specify the retardation values at a broad wavelength range. So, the retardation will be less sensitive to ...
