Quarter-wave Plate 48WP-4-Z

The quarter-wave plate transforms a linear state of polarization into a circular SOP

Multicube_48WP

Features

The retardation optics type 48WP-4-Z are quarter-wave plates (also known as waveplates or retarder plates) that allow the transformation of a linear state of polarization into a circular state of polarization. They have a rotary mount and are designed to be integrated into the multicube system.

Quartz plate, zero-order
For various wavelengths UV-IR
Clear aperture 5 mm
In adjustable mount with self-locking tubular axis (0 - 360°)
Rotation around axis that is inclined 2° with respect to the optical axis. This avoids interference and back-reflection
System mount Ø 19.5 mm
Adjustable using Schäfter+Kirchhoff Polarization Analyzer series SK010PA.
