Frequently Asked Questions

Quarter Waveplates transform linearly polarized light into circularly polarized light, and vice-versa. Half Waveplates rotate the plane of polarization of linearly polarized light through any angle. They also convert left circularly polarized light into right circularly polarized light, and vice-versa.

Multi-Order Waveplates are made from a single Crystalline Quartz or Sapphire plate.

The Surface Quality of Multi-Order Waveplates is 10 – 5, both surfaces.

Waveplates are used in the synthesis and analysis of polarized light.

The Retardation Tolerance of Multi-Order Waveplates is λ/100 - λ/600.
