OPTOMAN’s SuperHero Power IBS-Coated Quarter-Waveplates are built to survive the extremes of ultrafast lasers. They introduce a precise λ/4 phase delay between orthogonal polarization axes, enabling reliable conversion of linearly polarized light into circular polarization or vice versa – a function critical for isolators, modulators, and advanced laser setups.

These waveplates feature air-spaced zero-order design with no glue, eliminating stress, drift, and degradation. Combined with IBS AR coatings (<0.1% reflectance), they deliver high LIDT and long-term stability, ensuring years of maintenance-free operation.

Optimized for II harmonics of high-performance femtosecond lasers at 515 nm, these waveplates outlast alternatives and deliver unmatched reliability in demanding systems, 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
  • “FS Series” by Photonics Industries
