NOA61 Cemented Zero Order Waveplates
High accuracy: Due to the zero-level design, these waveplates are able to produce the expected phase delay precisely, avoiding the additional wavelength shifts that can occur with multi-stage waveplates.
High stability: Since the harmful phase delay generated by the first waveplate is compensated by the second waveplate, the zero-order waveplate is insensitive to changes in temperature and wavelength, and has higher stability.
High-Performance Adhesives: Glue with NOA61 adhesive, which offers excellent bond strength, high heat resistance, and excellent clarity to meet the needs of optical applications under a wide range of operating conditions.
Wide range of applications: suitable for a variety of optical systems, including nonlinear optical systems, optical time multiplexing systems, optical sensors, special interferometers, synchronous phase displacement phase shifters, etc.
Applications: Optical communication, Laser technology, Optical measurements, Scientific research, etc.
NOA61 Cemented Zero Order Waveplates offered by Kingwin Optics are a type of waveplate that features two waveplates made from Quartz or Magnesium Fluoride with their optical axes orthogonally aligned. The unique design of these waveplates allows them to produce exactly the retardation intended, making them less sensitive to changes in temperature and wavelength compared to multi-order and low-order waveplates. The NOA61 Cemented design utilizes a high-performance adhesive compliant to Specification MIL-A-3920, which provides great bonding strength, high heat resistance, and excellent clarity to support optical applications under various operation conditions.
