Commercial Polymer Retarders are Meadowlark’s most affordable line of zero-order waveplates. Our commercial retarders perform with excellence while being suitable for applications in which transmitted wavefront quality is not highly critical.

Commercial Polymer Retarders available from Meadowlark use commercial-quality glass windows and are designed as a low-cost alternative to the Meadowlark Precision Polymer Retarders. Quarter- and half-wave retarders are available for common wavelengths in the visible to near-infrared region. The fast axis is conveniently marked on every retarder from Meadowlark Optics.
