Each surface of the waveplate is coated with an anti-reflection coating to maximize the transmission at the specified wavelength. The Series AO-0.5-TZ waveplates are square and measure 0.5mm x 0.5mm and are fabricated from crystal quartz to 90 microns thick. Other sizes are available. Tower Optical has a stock position of a wide variety of telecom True Zero Order Waveplates in the telecom band, from I500nm to 1600nm. We offer 1/2 wave, 3/4 wave and 7/8 wave true zero order waveplates at several telecom wavelengths, and the 3/4 wave can be used as a quarter waveplate with a sign reversal.
