NDK Datasheets for Waveplates and Retardation Plates

Waveplates and retardation plates are optical elements with two principal axes, one slow and one fast, which resolve an incident polarized beam into two mutually perpendicular polarized beams. The emerging beam recombines to form

Product Name Notes
A single board-type plate has good wavefront aberration and isthin. Therefore, it is convenient to use when bonded to a beamsplitter, etc.
The bonding-type plate enables the influence on phaseaccuracy caused by variations in optical rotation and the laserincident angle to be ignored. Therefore, it can be embedded inan optical system more...
