WAVEPLATES
Specifications:
Synthetic single crystal quartz, dimensional tolerance: +0/-0.25mm diameter, λ/10 transmitted wavefront distortion, 10-5 scratch-dig, better than 0.5 arc sec parallel, >85% clear aperture retardation tolerance: λ/100 – λ/600 typical (dependent on wavelength) unmounted
Both faces AR (<0.25%R) coated at operational wavelength.
The Manx Precision Optics part number for waveplates follows the following pattern:
Z (for zero order) 2 (for half wave retardation) Operational
CQWP- or – diameter in mm – or – wavelength
M (for multiple order) 4 (for quarter wave retardation) in nm
For example: CQWP-Z-25.4-2-248 is a 25.4mm diameter, zero order, half wave retardation waveplate for 248nm.

All waveplates can also be mounted. When mounted, the 25.4mm diameter waveplates will have a minimum 22.1mm clear aperture and an outside mount diameter of 38.1mm, while the mounted 50.8mm diameter waveplates will have a minimum 44.2mm clear aperture and an outside mount diameter of 76.2mm.
