Product Description
  • Design Wavelength: 366 nm-1550 nm selectable
  • phase delay amount δ = π
  • Often used to rotate the polarization direction of linearly polarized light.
LBTEK Quartz Optical-Contacted True Zero-Order Half-Waveplate is formed by bonding a single ultra-thin quartz crystal true zero-order waveplate to a 2 mm thick H-K9L Optical Glass substrate through an optical contact (optical contacting) process. The quartz crystal true zero-order waveplate has a thickness on the micrometer scale and low mechanical strength itself. By bonding it to the H-K9L substrate through an optical contact process, 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. LBTEK Quartz Optical-Contacted True Zero-Order Half-Waveplate is commonly used to rotate the polarization direction of linearly polarized light without changing the intensity of the linearly polarized light. In addition to the standard Quartz Optical-Contacted True Zero-Order Half-Waveplate, LBTEK also provides various custom solutions, including custom special sizes, Design Wavelength, phase delay, and other specifications. For specific custom requirement, please contact LBTEK technical support.

Quartz Optical Contact True Zero-Order Half-Wave Plate, Common Wavelengths for Quantum Technologies
  • Retardance: λ/2±λ/300
  • Common wavelengths for Quantum Technologies
  • Ø25.4 mm, with Retaining Ring style housing
  • Quartz crystal / H-K9L optical glass (optical contact)

LBTEK Fused Silica Optical Contact True Zero-Order Half-Wave Plate is commonly used to rotate the Polarization Direction of Linearly Polarized Light. After Linearly Polarized Light passes through the True Zero-Order Half-Wave Plate, the resulting Optical Path Difference (OPD) is λ/2, and the Phase retardance is π. The Design Wavelengths of the Fused Silica Optical Contact True Zero-Order Wave Plate include common wavelengths used in fields such as laser cooling, atomic clocks, and quantum precision measurement: 399 nm, 509 nm, 556 nm, 671 nm, 780 nm, 795 nm, 813 nm, 852 nm, and 1013 nm. For the Fused Silica Optical Contact True Zero-Order Half-Wave Plate with a Retaining Ring housing, the housing is non-removable, and the Item # and the Wave Plate Fast Axis Marking line are engraved on the housing surface, making it easy for customers to identify and use. Each Fused Silica Optical Contact True Zero-Order Half-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 difference), ensuring full traceability of product quality.

LBTEK Quartz Optical Contacted True Zero-Order Half-Wave Plate is often mounted in a Rotation Mount
