Hobbite/Achromatic Waveplate/Achromatic Waveplate

Product catalog summary
Specification:
Achromatic waveplates are constructed using two different birefringent crystals, typically crystal quartz and MgF2. They are available in standard dimensions of 1 x 1mm, 2 x 2mm, or can be customized. The retardation tolerance is up to λ/300 at a central wavelength (λc) with a tolerance of +/- 75nm. The surface quality is maintained at a scratch/dig level better than 40-20. Anti-reflective (AR) coating ensures reflectance is less than 0.35% at the specified wavelength.
Application:
Achromatic waveplates are used in applications requiring polarization management over a broad wavelength range. They are less sensitive to wavelength changes compared to zero-order waveplates, making them suitable for broadband applications.
Features:
The achromatic waveplate's design allows for retardation values to be specified over a broad wavelength range due to the differing dispersion of birefringence in the two materials used. This feature makes them ideal for applications requiring consistent performance across various wavelengths.

Hobbite/Achromatic Waveplate/Achromatic Waveplate-1

Achromatic Waveplate Feature Achromatic waveplate is similar to zero order waveplate except that the two plates are made from different birefringent crystals. Since the dispersion of the birefringence of two materials is different, it is possible to specify the retardation values at a broad wavelength range. So, the retardation will be less sensitive to wavelength change. In other words, it can be used at a broadband wavelength range. Polarization Management Components WSS Substrate Material: Crystal quartz and MgF2 Typical Dimension: 1 x 1mm, 2 x 2mm or customized Retardation Tolerance: Up to λ/300@λc +/- 75nm Surface Quality: (scratch/dig) better than 40-20 AR Coating: R<0.35%@specified wavelength Email: [email protected] Tel:+86-755-2372 7820 Fax:+86-755-2302 3823 www.hobbite.net Address:2F, Guohuitong Business Center, BaoAn District, ShenZhen City, GuangDong Province, PRC.
