Hangzhou Shalom Electro-optics Technology Co., Ltd. Low Order Waveplates

• Low cost and fast delivery • AR coated and high damage threshold • Wavelength options: from 266nm to 7000nm • Two material options: Quartz or MgF2 Waveplates • Low Order Dual Wavelength Waveplates are also available Low Order Waveplates are a kind of multiple order waveplates, but with improved optical characteristics. Low order waveplates usually generate the desired phase delay with a surplus of several full wavelength phase shifts. Compared to common multiple order waveplates, which produce a high number of excessive full wavelength shifts, Low Order Waveplates are thinner and less dependent upon wavelength ambient temperature and the angle of incidence. While in contrast with Zero Order Waveplates, Low order waveplates tend to be much cheaper than the former, although having relatively lower retardation stability. Hangzhou Shalom EO provides both standard and custom Low Order Quarter Waveplates and Low Order Quarter Waveplates of single plate structures, made from Quartz or Magnesium Fluoride (MgF2). Quartz Low Order Waveplates could be applied for quarter or half-wave retardation for wavelengths ranging from the UV to the NWIR spectral. MgF2 Waveplates could be applied for quarter or half wave retardation for wavelengths up to the MWIR (maximum 7000nm) region. If you are seeking solutions for large-scale and low-cost production, Our Low Order Waveplates are just right for you. Our competitiveness resides in the widely selectable wavelengths (266nm, 355nm, 532nm, 632.8nm, 780nm, 808nm, 850nm, 980nm, 1064nm, 1310nm, 1480nm, and 1550nm wavelength (standard), or other custom wavelengths), high damage threshold (greater than 500MW/cm^2), and superb surface quality (20/10 S/D), etc. Low Order Dual Wavelength Waveplates which could support double retardation operations for dual-wavelength sets are available in Shalom EO as well.
