Typical multiple-order wave plates have a temperature coefficient of 0.0015 ë/°C. • Less costly than zero-order wave plates • Single or dual wavelength versions • Laser line antireflection V-coated for R <0.25% per surface • Major laser wavelengths from 248–1550 nm Specifications Material Quartz, schlieren grade Construction Single plate Retardation ë/4 or ë/2 Retardation Accuracy ±ë/300 at 20°C ±1°C Wavefront Distortion ë/10 at 632.8 nm over the full aperture Clear Aperture central 90% of diameter Surface Quality 10-5 scratch-dig Wedge <0.5 arc sec Diameter Tolerance +0/-0.25 mm Reflectivity per Surface Single wavelength: R <0.5% total, or 0.25% per surface / Dual wavelength: Ravg <1.5% Thickness Single wavelength: 1 mm, nominal / Dual wavelength: 0.5–4 mm, nominal Cleaning Non-abrasive method, acetone or isopropyl alcohol on lens tissue recommended, caution: fragile, thin optic Damage Threshold 2 MW/cm2 CW, 2 J/cm2 with 10 nsec pulses For a tutorial on wave plates, see page 437. Ordering Information To order, substitute the desired wavelength code from the tables below for "ë" in the part number. For example, model 05RP22-02 is a 12.7-mm diameter, ë/2 retardation, 488-nm and 632.8-nm dual wavelength wave plate.
