Summary Box:

Our low order waveplates are available in λ/2 and λ/4 with AR coatings for 532nm, 633nm, 780nm, 795nm, 850nm and 1064nm.

Description:

We offer λ/2 and λ/4 levels of retardation over a range of anti-reflection coated wavelengths. The λ/2 waveplate is used to shift the direction of polarisation by 180°, whereas the λ/4 will convert between linearly polarised and circularly polarised light. The retardation of low order waveplates is more sensitive to temperature and wavelength fluctuations than an equivalent Zero order waveplate. For this reason they are more suited to applications for which temperature and wavelength sensitivity is less critical. Our waveplates are all available in inch (25.4mm) and half-inch (12.7mm) diameters.

Reflectance at Wavelength < 0.2%
