Achromatic 0th Order Waveplates

Achromatic 0th Order Waveplates

Consisted of one quartz and one magnesium fluoride plates
  with the optical axes orthogonally oriented. 
Air-spaced design for high transparency and high power applications.
Different designs to cover extremely broad bandwidths:
  350-470 nm (UV-UV/Blue),  465-660 nm (VIS), 650-1100 nm (NIR)
  775-1550 nm, 1000-1750 nm (IR1), 1400-2200 nm, 1650-2650 nm (IR2)

Two common plate sizes:
  Diameter 15mm, mounted in OD 1" holder  and
  Diameter 1" (25.4 mm),  mounted in OD 30 mm holder
  Custom sizes are available upon request.

Mount adaptors are available
