Typical applications of zero order waveplates include laser systems where a waveplate is used to convert linearly polarised light into a circularly polarised beam. The resulting beam helps to provide a uniform cut quality in all directions.
Standard LASER COMPONENTS‘ zero order waveplates are produced using optical contact resulting in waveplates which are more resistant to shifts in polarisation due to thermal expansion during use. We can also provide these waveplates as glued or air-spaced.
Coated and uncoated options are available, as well as options to aluminium mount the waveplates. Entire custom solutions can also be provided based on the customer’s own designs.
