Zero-Order Waveplates

It is constructed  of two multi-order waveplates with their axis crossed. Thus, it performs  as a zero-order waveplate because of the effect of two plates  counteracting each other. It has wide temperature bandwidth and  wavelength bandwidth properties. Because it is cemented, the damage  threshold must be considered (about 10MW/cm2) when used.
