Quarter-Wave Plates are birefringent optical components that introduce a quarter-wavelength phase delay between orthogonal polarization axes, converting linearly polarized light into circularly polarized light or vice versa. They are essential for controlling polarization states in systems that rely on circular polarization, such as isolators, modulators, or ellipsometry setups. Zero-order, air-spaced design offers the best performance due to its low sensitivity to wavelength and temperature variations.

These crystalline quartz quarter-wave plates are specifically designed for use with high-performance femtosecond lasers operating at 1030 nm, including:

  • “PHAROS” and “CARBIDE” series by Light
    Conversion
  • “FSL1030X1” and “FSL1030X2” by Thorlabs
  • “FemtoBlade” by Lumentum
  • “Satsuma” by Amplitude Laser
  • “FemtoLux” by EKSPLA
  • “TruMicro” series by TRUMPF
  • “Monaco” series by Coherent
  • “Jasper X0” by RPMC Lasers
