Achromatic Zero-Order Quartz-MgF2 Wave Plates
Achromatic Zero-Order Quartz-MgF<sub>2</sub> Wave Plates

  • Superior broadband performance
  • Retardation maintained from ±l/50 to ±l/100 over the bandwidth
  • Better retardation accuracy than zero-order quartz wave plates
  • Higher damage threshold than achromatic polymer film wave plates
  • Less expensive than achromatic polymer film wave plates

Product Description
These achromatic zero-order wave plates consist of two different birefringent crystals — crystalline quartz and magnesium fluoride (MgF2) — in an air-spaced design. Compared to zero-order quartz wave plates, achromatic quartz-MgF2 wave plates offer better retardation accuracy over broadband wavelength ranges. Achromatic quartz-MgF2 wave plates are less expensive than achromatic polymer film wave plates and also feature higher damage thresholds.
