These zero-order wave plates are constructed of two quartz plates, air-spaced to allow for use with high-power lasers, in a. Zero-order wave plates are temperature insensitive phase retarders for moderate bandwidth applications. We would recommend, in the first instance, comparing measurements, found with an accurate surface probe or wire probe, and then the Infrared thermometer can be adjusted to match the correct emissivity and used for subsequent measurements. The 05RP02-49 is a /2 Retardation Zero-Order Quartz Wave Plate, 12.7 mm in diameter and optimized for 520 nm. This section provides the standard nomenclature and definitions for a system used to assign symbols to soil horizons and layers. The accuracy of the following figures is almost impossible to guarantee as the emissivity of a surface will not only alter with regard to texture and colour but also with its actual temperature at the time of measurement. In the real world, there are no perfect "black bodies" and very few perfect infrared mirrors so most objects have an emissivity between 0 and 1. A material with an emissivity value of 0 would be considered a perfect thermal mirror.įor example, if an object had the potential to emit 100 units of energy but only emits 90 units in the real world, then that object would have an emissivity value of 0.90. A black body is a material that is a perfect emitter of heat energy and has an emissivity value of 1. It is defined as the fraction of energy being emitted relative to that emitted by a thermally black surface (a black body). The rotation is dependent on the wavelength and the distance travelled, as shown below.Emissivity is a measure of the efficiency in which a surface emits thermal energy. Using high-tech laser cutting make edge lowest breakage. When plane polarised light propogates along the optic axis of quartz, it is rotated clockwise or anticlockwise depending on whether it is right or left hand quartz. Our company has ability to custom super thin quartz plates(JGS1 or JGS2) with high optical transparency.

All waveplates can be supplied mounted or unmounted.įor a given plate thickness a low order waveplate will operate as a quarterwave, halfwave and full wave plate at different wavelengths.īy selecting the thickness it is possible to achieve a dual order plate giving for example, halfwave retardation at 1064 nm and fullwave retardation at 532 nm.īecause of the wide range of possibilities these plates are not held in stock, but we would be pleased to manufacture plates where possible to customer requirements. They are generally available from stock for most common laser wavelengths. Low order Half and Quarter wave plates having the above dimensions are held in stock and can be supplied coated or uncoated. > 1 GW/cm 2(~1ns pulse length at 1064 nm) Retardation plates can be supplied mounted or unmounted with or without A.R.

They are also less sensitive to axial misalignment. Low order plates are generally used because they are relatively temperature insensitive compared to high multiple order plates. Most low order plates lie in a thickness range of 100-200µm (At 1.06µm a first order λ/2 plate is aproximately 182 µm thick). They are orientated with the optic axis in the plane of the plate and light polarised at 45° to the quartz optic axis is resolved into two equal amplitude components that suffer a relative phase retardation due to their different propogating velocities. These retardation plates use high optical damage threshold crystal quartz.
