Frequently Asked Questions

The important parameters to know when ordering waveplates include wavelength, retardance (half waveplates or quarter waveplates or some special type), and order (low order, zero order, cemented zero order, true zero order, air spaced zero order, or optical contacted zero order).

The features of Crysmit Zero Order Waveplate include material: quartz, typical diameter, diameter tolerance, wavefront distortion, retardation tolerance, parallelism, surface quality, clear aperture central, and coating.

True zero order and air spaced and optical contacted type have a large damage threshold, but they are more difficult to produce. Cemented type has a low damage threshold.

Zero order waveplates have a more broad wavelength and temperature and angle bandwidth compared to low order waveplates.

A zero order waveplate is a type of waveplate that shows better performance than multiple order waveplates.
