MSE PRO Compound Zero Order Waveplates, Quarter or Half Retardance
MSE PRO™ Compound Zero Order Waveplates, Quarter or Half Retardance
MSE PRO™ Compound Zero Order Waveplates consist of two multistage wave plates that are combined together. This combination helps to minimize the impact of temperature on the wave plate, it also increases the wave plate's sensitivity to wavelength and incidence angle. By utilizing different wafer thicknesses, we can achieve the desired phase retardation. The waveplates are categorized by their structure, which includes multiple-order, compound zero-order, and true zero-order waveplates.
MSE Supplies offers zero order waveplates made of durable quartz crystals with retardance of λ/2 and λ/4. For more information, please contact us.
