Wavepalte Types: Photonchinas waveplates include octadic waveplate (1/8 waveplate),quarter waveplates(1/4 waveplate), half wave plates(1/2 waveplate) and full waveplate Both circular aperture and quadratic aperture are available. Photonchinaâ??s waveplate can transmit light and modify its polarization state without attenuating, deviating, or displacing the beam.It is ideal for applications requiring high damage thresholds and retardation stability over temperature change, such as for use with lasers or infrared light sources.
