Description
Zero Order Waveplates. Half and quarter single-plate waveplates rotate or convert polarization.
True Zero Order (ZO) Waveplate is single plate (if too thin can be bonded or glued to base) of true retardance of less than 1λ.
Effective Zero Order (ZO) Waveplate construction involves construction of two multi-order waveplates.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is typical price of Zero Order (ZO) waveplates ?
From 120-150 EUR/pc for small batches. Price may vary based on several factors (batch size, required quality, mounting etc.)
What is typical delivery time of Zero Order waveplate?
We ship stock zero order waveplates in about 1-3 days. If Alien Photonics needs to produce the waveplates, it could take up to 4-6 weeks depending on complexity.
