Quartz waveplate HI-RETAX-1λ

Product overview
HI-RETAX-1λ is a wavelength phase difference (wave) plate composed of a birefringent wavelength film bonded between optical-grade substrates such as quartz or optical glass. It provides controlled phase retardation for polarized light in optical assemblies and is supplied in multiple retardation types for visible and infrared applications.

Key features

• Available retardations: 1/4 λ, 1/2 λ, 1/8 λ and sensitive color variants
• Design wavelength example: 530 nm phase difference for the sensitive color variant
• Bonded substrate construction for optical uniformity and stability
• Variants optimized for visible and infrared wavelength ranges
