Air Spaced Achromatic Quarter Waveplates
Overview Specifications and Graphs Order Now!

Achromatic Quarter Waveplates are made from two different birefringent quartz plate with a fast axis quartz plate aligning with slow axis of magnesium fluoride. This allow a retardation value of λ/4 to be achieved across the range of wavelengths targeted.


Air Spaced Zero Order Quarter Waveplates have their two components separated such that the problems that would arise are limited. This type of waveplates can have a higher laser damage threshold and greater temperature range while maintaining excellent beam deviation and transmitted wavefront. However, it is also of a higher cost.
