Waveplate, also called phase retardation plate, is an optical element that changes the polarization state of light by generating an optical path difference (or phase difference) between two mutually orthogonal polarization components. The outgoing light is different when the incident light passes through waveplates of different parameters, which can be linear polarization, elliptically polarization, circular polarization, etc.

The thickness of a multiple order waveplate (Multiple Order Waveplate, Multiple Order Waveplate Retarders) is equal to multiple full-wave thicknesses plus a required retardation thickness. Multiple order waveplates are relatively easy to manufacture, but they are very sensitive to temperature, wavelength, and angle of incidence.

AOS Optics provides standard stock multiple order waveplates with retardation of λ/2, λ/4, and sizes of Φ12.7mm and Φ25.4mm. AOS Optics is a reputable domestic provider of optical components. We can also customize a variety of multi-order waveplates that meet your requirements according to your needs.
