Wave plate
Waveplates transmit light and modify its polarization state without attenuating, deviating, or displacing the beam. They do this by retarding one component of polarization with respect to its orthogonal component. Waveplate retarders are designed to operate with light that have existing polarization states. OYEAH provide zero-order WP,low-order WP,achromatic WP and WP customization.
Applications:
- Polarization Management
