Multi-Order Wave Plates

Thorlabs offers both quarter- and half-wave multi-order wave plates. Compared to their zero-order counterparts, the retardance of multi-order wave plates will be more sensitive to wavelength and temperature changes. Our multi-order wave plates are available for a number of discrete wavelengths ranging from 266 nm to 1550 nm. We also offer dual-wavelength versions for use at both 532 nm and 1064 nm.
