HWP-AS-ZO-1030-25.4Design Tools
Complete Your Setup
Overview
This true zero-order air-gap waveplate is built from two crystalline-quartz plates separated by a precision air gap, delivering the low temperature sensitivity, wide acceptance angle, and high damage threshold characteristic of air-spaced zero-order designs. A half-wave (λ/2) plate rotates the plane of linear polarization.
Applications
- Polarization rotation & control
- Laser systems & pulse conditioning
- Electro-optic & interferometric setups
- Precision metrology
