Waveplates have anti-reflection coating
Press Release
November 15, 2011
November 15, 2011, Barrington, NJ USA — Edmund Optics® (EO),
the premier provider of optical components, introduces new Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR)
and Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR) Waveplates. These versatile waveplates are designed for
a wide variety of Infrared (IR) applications in the 3 - 9µm wavelength range.
Lower sensitivity to temperature change
When compared with multiple order waveplates, zero order Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) and Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR) Waveplates
provide increased bandwidth and lower sensitivity to temperature change. Ideally suited for a wide variety of Infrared (IR)
applications, the MWIR and LWIR waveplates are available with ¼λ or ½λ retardance over a range of wavelengths from 3 - 9µm.
MWIR and LWIR Waveplates offer very efficient retardation over a broad spectral range.
Waveplates have anti-reflection coating
Each MWIR and LWIR waveplate is anti-reflection (AR) coated and has been mounted for ease of alignment
and simplified system integration.
Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) and Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR) Waveplates are in stock and available for immediate delivery
for fast turnaround and excellent value.
