Zero Order Half Wave Plate
Price range: ₹31,000.00 through ₹40,000.00
Zero-Order Half-Wave Plates are built by combining two Multi-Order Crystalline Quartz Wave Plates to obtain an optical path length difference of λ/2.
A Half-Wave Plate is a Birefringent Material which changes the phase between two perpendicular polarizations. A half-waveplate is very helpful in rotating the plane of polarization from a polarized laser to any other desired plane (especially if the laser is too large to rotate). Most large ion lasers are vertically polarized, for example, so to obtain horizontal polarization, simply place a half-waveplate in the beam with its fast (or slow) axis 45° to the vertical.

Multi-Order Half-Wave Plate: A waveplate that provides a half-wave phase retardation plus one or more complete 2Ï€ phase cycles, designed for a specific wavelength. It is generally more economical than a zero-order waveplate.
Achromatic Quarter waveplates consist of two different materials that are carefully chosen to eliminate chromatic dispersion.
A Nicol prism is a type of polarizer, an optical device made from calcite crystal used to produce and analyzer plane polarized light. It is made in such a way that it eliminates one of the rays by total internal reflection, i.e. the ordinary ray is eliminated and only the extraordinary ray is transmitted through the prism.
A broadband polarizing beam splitter is an optical component engineered to separate or combine light beams based on their polarization state across an exceptionally wide spectral range. It transmits one linear polarization (typically P-polarized light) with high efficiency while reflecting the orthogonal polarization (S-polarized light) at a steep extinction ratio, all while preserving wavefront quality. This makes it indispensable in systems requiring polarization management for tunable lasers, ultrafast sources, or multi-wavelength imaging—where spectral agility is as critical as polarization purity.
