Zero Order Waveplate

Zero Order Waveplate


The zero order waveplate is designed to give a retardance of zero full waves, plus the desired fraction.Zero order waveplate shows better performance than multiple order wavepalte.It has broad bandwidth and a lower sensitivity to temperature and wavelength changes.It should be considered for more critical applications.

Cemented and Optically Contacted Zero-Order Waveplate
 ● Double Plates
● Broad Spectral Bandwidth
● Wide Temperature Bandwidth
● AR Coated
