Quartz Zero-Order Quarter-Wave Plate — QWP10-852B-SP

Quartz Zero-Order Quarter-Wave Plate — Model QWP10-852B-SP

λ/4 quartz waveplate at 852 nm, mounted in standard SM housing.

Overview

LBTek's Quartz Zero-Order Quarter-Wave Plates deliver a λ/4 retardance at the design wavelength. The air-spaced compound design combines two quartz plates for cost-effective zero-order performance. Each plate is anti-reflection coated on both surfaces (R < 0.25% @ design wavelength) and mounted in a standard SM05 or SM1 lens tube for seamless integration into polarization control setups.

Key Features

• Zero-Order (air-spaced compound) design at the specified design wavelength
• Retardance: λ/4
• V-type anti-reflection coating on both surfaces
• Surface finish 10/5 to 20/10
• Operating temperature tolerant, polarization-stable
• Mounted in standard SM05 / SM1 housing for seamless integration

Applications

• Polarization state conversion (linear ↔ circular / elliptical)
• Laser isolator, interferometry, and ellipsometry systems
• Quantum optics and photonic research
• Integration with polarizing beamsplitters and prisms
