Zero-Order Waveplates

The zero order waveplate is designed to give a retardance of zero full waves, plus the desired fraction.Zero order waveplate shows better performance than multiple order wavepalte.It has broad bandwidth and a lower sensitivity to temperature and wavelength changes.It should be considered for more critical applications.


  • Quartz Waveplate: wavelength 210-2000nm
  • MgF2 Waveplate: wavelength 190-7000nm
  • Parallelism: < 1 arc sec
