Wave plates are also known as retarders. These are devices that transmit light and modify its polarization state without attenuating, deviating, or displacing the beam. A waveplate has a slow axis and a fast axis. Both of these axis are perpendicular to the beam direction, and also to each other. These wave plates are designed to provide a high laser to meet the requirements of the most demanding applications in the ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared wavelength regions.
Quartz is the most commonly used retarder material as it is easy to find and manufacture, is economical and operates from 180 to 2300 nm. Most of the manufacturers offer a varied range of wave plates to meet diversified industry needs such as zero order wave plate, dual wavelength wave plate, low order wave plate, achromatic wave plate and so on. Polymer wave plates are typically preferred for a wider range of incidence angles. Multiple order wave plates are used with monochromatic light. Zero order retarders are used for wider wavelength or temperature ranges. Achromatic wave plates assure superior performance over the widest wavelength or temperature ranges. Most of the manufacturers offer wave plates with custom capabilities to meet varied industrial needs.
