Retardation Plates

Retardation Plates

LINOS® Retardation Plates use high-grade crystal quartz to deliver precise polarization control for advanced optical and photonic applications. Their superior optical homogeneity and low wavefront distortion preserve beam quality and ensure consistent performance. The advanced anti-reflective coating minimizes reflection losses and increases transmission efficiency at the specified wavelength, enabling stable, accurate measurements. High surface quality and precise parallelism minimize optical effects such as beam deviation and scattering.

Our quartz retardation plates offer extremely tight retardation tolerances, enabling highly consistent phase control and long-term stability even under challenging operating conditions. They also offer exceptional thermal stability, durability, and resistance to environmental influences. Typical applications include laser systems, interferometry, spectroscopy, optical metrology, polarization analysis, and precision photonics setups in research and industrial environments.

Type S_master

Type S: Single plate (multiple order), retardation λ/2 or λ/4, thickness < 0.5 mm

Type D_master

Type D: Double plate (zero order), optically contacted quartz plates, retardation λ/2 or λ/4
