Low Order
Wave plates



Low Order Waveplates 1/2,1/4

The low (multiple) order waveplate is designed to give a retardance of several full waves, plus the desired fraction. This results in a single, physically robust component with desired performance.

Its properties are much better than the multi order waveplate because of its thinner thickness. Better temperature,wavelength and incident angle bandwidth and high damage threshold make it widely used in common application. Also,it is economical choice.

However, even small variation in wavelength or temperature will result in significant changes in the desired fractional retardance.

Notes
  »| We are committed to support a fast delivery to customer.Generally,we can delivery any wavelength for standard size within 10-15days if no stock.
  »| Above prices lists are all based on QTY >=20pcs. If you need prices for <20pcs or OEM prices,please contact us to get more information.
  »| We hold a large stock for most standard size with standard wavelength,it will satisfy most applications and test. Please contact us for checking our stock situation and information.
  »| Custom retardation and size is avaliable upon request, and please advise us your central wavelenght when you order our standard low order wave plates.
  »| We are support mounting and unmounted low order wave plates,you could make choice as your applications.
  »| The surface flatness is the reflected wavefront distortion of the surface before coating.
  »| Be sure to wear laser safety goggles when checking optical path and adjusting optical axis.
