Zero-order Waveplate (Zero Order Waveplate, Zero Order Retarders) is two multi-order waveplates glued together. Glued waveplates can improve the effect of temperature on waveplates to a certain extent, but it increases the sensitivity of waveplate delay to wavelength and incident angle.

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 linearly polarized light, elliptically polarized light, circularly polarized light, etc.

AOS Optics provides standard stock zero-order waveplates with delays 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 zero-order waveplates that meet your requirements according to your needs. If you have any questions or needs, please feel free to contact us, and we will be delighted to assist you.

We offer Glued Zero Order λ/2 Waveplate (Glued Zero Order λ/2 Retarders) with a retardation of λ/2 and Glued Zero Order λ/4 Waveplate (Glued Zero Order λ/4 Retarders) made of quartz crystal.
