Waveplates

17.5 mm zero order waveplates

The 17.5 mm zero order waveplates provide users with a high-power crystalline quartz retarder with a free aperture of 15 mm. The waveplates are air spaced and have a stainless steel spacer between two crystalline quartz plates, which form the zero order capability. They are much less sensitive to temperature fluctuations than multiple order waveplates and have a higher thermal stability and power draw than contacted or cemented waveplates.

Features

  • Standard wavelength range 237 nm to 2021 nm (more on request)
  • 15 mm free aperture
  • 1/2λ and 1/4λ retardance
  • AR-coated
  • Material: crystalline quartz – laser grade
