Multiple Order Waveplates and Retardation Plates
from CeNing Optics Co., Ltd.
Multiple order waveplates are made from a single crystalline plate, which are designed to give a retardance of several full waves, plus the desired fraction. Multiple order waveplates are more susceptible to change in wavelength and they should not be used more than several nanometers outside of... [See More]

from Tower Optical Corporation
Tower ’s multiple order waveplates consist of a single plates of laser quality crystal quartz. Because their retardation adds some integer number of waves to the desired fraction ( λ /4, λ /2), they are many times more sensitive to temperature and wavelength than zero order... [See More]

from HG Optronics, Inc.
Waveplates (retardation plates or phase shifters) are made from materials which exhibit birefringence. The velocities of the extraordinary and ordinary rays through the birefringent material varies inversely with their refractive indices. This difference in velocities gives rise to a phase...

- Retardation: Quarter; Half
from Ross Optical Industries
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. However, even small changes in wavelength or temperature will result in significant changes in the... [See More]

from Rocky Mountain Instrument/RMI Laser
Waveplates are used in the synthesis and analysis of polarized light. Quarter Waveplates transform linearly polarized light into circularly polarized light, and vice-versa. Half Waveplates rotate the plane of polarization of linearly polarized light through any angle. They also convert left... [See More]

from Spectral Optics
Using its revolutionary new Molecular Fusion ™ bonding process, Spectral Optics can now provide zero-order waveplates at prices comparable to ordinary multiple-order waveplate. Zero-order waveplates are far superior in temperature stability and wavelength tolerance, but have traditionally been... [See More]
