Zero-Order Precision Wave Plates
Zero-Order Precision Wave Plates

  • Less sensitive to wavelength change than quartz wave plates
  • Better angular acceptance than either multiple-order or zero-order quartz wave plates
  • Large clear apertures are more affordable
  • Operate over a broad temperature range

Product Description
Newport’s true zero-order wave plates consist of a birefringent polymer film cemented between two high-precision BK 7 windows, each with a high efficiency, broadband antireflection coating. Polymer wave plates offer several benefits over quartz wave plates, such as better angular acceptance and less sensitivity to wavelength change.


Ordering Information
To order, substitute the desired standard wavelength (in nm) for "l" in the part number. Wavelengths include: 488, 514.5, 532, 632.8, 670, 780, 830, 1064, 1300 and 1550 nm. For example, model 20RP34-632.8 is a 50.8-mm diameter, l/4 retardation, 632.8-nm wavelength wave plate.
