Product Description
  • Design Wavelength: 366 nm-1550 nm optional
  • phase delay amount δ=π/2
  • Commonly used to convert linearly polarized light into circularly polarized light
The LBTEK Quartz Optical-Contacted True Zero-Order Quarter-Wave Plate (λ/4) is constructed by combining a single-piece ultra-thin quartz crystal true Zero-Order Waveplate with a 2 mm thick H-K9L Optical Glass substrate through an optical contacting (optical contact) process. The quartz crystal true Zero-Order Waveplate has a thickness on the micrometer scale and low mechanical strength. By combining it with the H-K9L substrate through optical contacting, the overall mechanical strength of the assembly is significantly improved while maintaining the excellent optical performance of the true Zero-Order Waveplate, making it easy to mount and use. The LBTEK Quartz Optical-Contacted True Zero-Order Quarter-Wave Plate (λ/4) is commonly used to convert linearly polarized light into circularly polarized light. In addition to standard Quartz Optical-Contacted True Zero-Order Quarter-Wave Plate (λ/4), LBTEK also offers a variety of custom solutions, including custom special sizes, Design Wavelength, phase delay, and other specifications. For specific custom requirements, please contact LBTEK technical support.

Quartz optical-contact True Zero-Order Quarter-Wave Plate, common wavelengths for Quantum Technologies
  • Retardance: λ/4±λ/300
  • Common wavelengths for Quantum Technologies
  • Ø25.4 mm, with Retaining Ring-style housing
  • Quartz crystal / H-K9L optical glass (optical contact)

LBTEK Quartz Optical Contact True Zero-Order Quarter-Wave Plate is commonly used to convert Linearly Polarized Light into Circularly Polarized Light. After Linearly Polarized Light passes through the True Zero-Order Quarter-Wave Plate, the generated Optical Path Difference (OPD) is λ/4, and the Phase retardance is π/2. The Design Wavelengths of Quartz Optical Contact True Zero-Order Wave Plates include common wavelengths used in fields such as laser cooling, atomic clocks, and Quantum Technologies Precision Measurement: 399 nm, 509 nm, 556 nm, 671 nm, 780 nm, 795 nm, 813 nm, 852 nm, and 1013 nm. For the Quartz Optical Contact True Zero-Order Quarter-Wave Plate with a Retaining Ring-style housing, the housing is non-detachable, and the housing surface is engraved with the Item # and the Fast Axis Marking line of the Wave Plate, making it convenient for customers to identify and use. Each Quartz Optical Contact True Zero-Order Quarter-Wave Plate is shipped with a one-to-one quality inspection report, which records the actual measured specifications of the Wave Plate (including key parameters such as Retardance and wavefront error), ensuring full traceability of product quality.

LBTEK Quartz Optical Contact True Zero-Order Quarter-Wave Plate is often mounted on a Rotation Mount
