Quartz Multi-Order Half-Wave Plate (Unmounted) — Model HWP20-1550BM

Multi-order quartz λ/2 waveplate at 1550 nm, supplied as an unmounted optical element.

Overview

These Quartz Multi-Order Half-Wave Plates deliver a half-wave (λ/2) retardance at the design wavelength using a single quartz plate whose thickness is chosen so that the optical path difference equals mλ+λ/2 (where m is a positive integer). Multi-order construction enables a single thicker plate to replace a compound zero-order design, reducing cost while preserving high transmission and damage threshold. Each plate is anti-reflection V-coated on both surfaces (R < 0.25% @ design wavelength, 6° incidence angle) and is supplied as an unmounted optical element.

Key Features

  • Multi-order quartz design: mλ+λ/2 retardance (m is a positive integer)
  • Delay accuracy: ±λ/300
  • V-type anti-reflection coating: R < 0.25%ᵃ @ design wavelength, 6° AOI, per surface
  • Surface finish: 10/5, parallelism < 3 arcsec
  • Transmitted Wavefront Error (TWE) @ 633 nm verified
  • Bare element for custom mounting or integration
  • Design wavelengths from 266 nm to 1550 nm (optional by request)

Applications

  • Polarization rotation and extinction control
  • Laser isolator and interferometry systems
  • Ellipsometry and polarization-resolved imaging
  • Integration with polarizing beamsplitters and prisms
