Zero Order Waveplate-Cemented by Epoxy

The zero order waveplate is designed to give a retardance of zero full waves, plus the desired fraction. Zero order waveplate shows better performances than multiple order waveplates, it has broad bandwidth and a lower sensitivity to temperature and wavlenght changes. It should be considered for more critical online_orderings.

 
Zero Order Waveplates-Cemented by Epoxy
Cemented zero order waveplate is constructed by two quartz plates with their fast axis crossed, the two plates are cemented by UV epoxy. The difference in thickness between the two plates determines the retardation. Zero order waveplates offer a substantially lower dependence on temperature and wavelength change than multi order waveplates.
