• Zero Order and Multiple Order Waveplates
• λ/4 and λ/2 Retardance
• Mounted in Black Anodized Aluminum Frame
Available in multiple order and zero order, Quartz
Waveplates (Retarders) are ideal for a range of applications.
Multiple order waveplates are ideal for
applications where the wavelength deviates less than
±1% from the design wavelength of the waveplate.
For applications with a greater than ±1% deviation,
zero order waveplates are recommended due to their
increased bandwidth and lower sensitivity to temperature
change. To ease system integration, the fast axis
is marked on the edge of the mount.
• Damage Threshold up to >20 J/cm2 @
1064nm
• λ/4 and λ/2 Retardance
• UV to NIR Design Wavelengths Available
High Energy Quartz Waveplates are available in both
λ/4 and λ/2 retardance for discrete laser wavelengths
from the UV to NIR and can withstand energy
densities up to >20 J/cm2 at 1064nm. A large acceptance
angle and wide operating temperature range
enables these waveplates to be integrated into harsh
environment applications. High Energy Quartz Waveplates
are mounted in a black anodized aluminum
housing for easy identification and system integration.
