Description
A waveplate is an optical device that alters the polarization state of light by introducing a phase shift between its orthogonal polarization components. Made from birefringent materials such as quartz, waveplates are widely used in laser systems, microscopy, and polarization control applications. Common types include half-wave and quarter-wave plates, which rotate polarization or convert linear to circular polarization, respectively.
