LBTEK Super Achromatic Half-Wave Plate (SAHWP) is composed of three quartz wave plates and three MgF2 wave plates. The retardation and angles of these six plates are strictly designed and controlled to achieve achromatic performance within the intended wavelength range. The LBTEK Super Achromatic Half-Wave Plate provides a phase retardation of π within the design wavelength range and is commonly used to rotate the polarization direction of linearly polarized light. Compared to traditional single-wavelength wave plates, the super achromatic wave plate is not limited to a specific operating wavelength and can achieve polarization state conversion for any wavelength within the design range. Compared to conventional achromatic wave plates, the super achromatic wave plate offers a broader achromatic wavelength range, better meeting customer requirements. Standard Super Achromatic Half-Wave Plates are available with design wavelength ranges of 325-1200 nm, 355-1200 nm, 600-2700 nm, and 600-2200 nm, and clear apertures of Ø10 mm, Ø21.5 mm, and Ø45 mm, corresponding to mounting in standard SM05, SM1, and SM2 lens tubes. In addition to standard products, LBTEK also offers flexible customization of parameters and specifications. For specific customization requirements, please contact LBTEK technical support.

Super Achromatic Half-Wave Plate, Clear Aperture Ø10 mm

Retardance: λ/2
Clear Aperture: Ø10 mm
Operating Wavelength: 325-1200 nm, 600-2700 nm

LBTEK's super achromatic half-wave plate with a clear aperture of Ø10 mm is composed of three quartz wave plates and three MgF2 wave plates bonded together. By controlling their relative angles, it achieves an ultra-broadband achromatic effect. Standard products are available with working wavelengths of 325–1200 nm and 600–2700 nm, both mounted in standard SM05 lens tubes. The surface is engraved with product model, retardation, design wavelength, and fast axis direction for easy identification and use.

Super Achromatic Half-Wave Plate, Clear Aperture Ø21.5 mm

Retardation: λ/2
Clear Aperture: Ø21.5 mm
Operating Wavelength: 325-1200 nm, 355-1200 nm, 600-2200 nm

LBTEK's Super Achromatic Half-Wave Plate, with a clear aperture of Ø21.5 mm, is constructed by bonding three quartz wave plates and three MgF2 wave plates. By controlling their relative angles, it achieves an ultra-broadband achromatic effect. Standard products are available for working wavelengths of 325-1200 nm, 355-1200 nm, and 600-2200 nm, all mounted in standard SM1 lens tubes. The surface is engraved with product model, retardation, design wavelength, and fast axis direction for easy identification and use. The Ø21.5 mm Super Achromatic Half-Wave Plate for 325-1200 nm offers a broader bandwidth, making it more suitable for broadband small spot applications; the Ø21.5 mm Super Achromatic Half-Wave Plate for 355-1200 nm provides better wavefront quality, making it more suitable for large spot applications.
