Zero Order Wave plates(1/2 and 1/4 wave plates) are made from two crystalline quartz plates of similar thickness, that are optically contacted together with orthogonally aligned optical axes. Retardation varies slowly with wavelength, thus they are useful with tunable or broadband sources. Retardation is a function of thickness difference between the two plates, and is essentially invariant with temperature.
Non-coated and AR coated products are available.
