Meadowlark Optics now offers Wide Field Retarders, the latest innovation in near zero-order polymer retarder technology. At their design wavelength, Wide Field Retarders provide a consistent retardance value over a wide acceptance angle, out to 30° or more.
Standard quarter- and half-wave designs are available for common wavelengths in the visible to near infrared region. The graphs show the Wide Field Retarder performance as a function of incidence angle for the both half-wave and quarter-wave designs.
Multilayer broadband antireflection (BBAR) coatings are included as standard. Note that BBAR coating performance varies with incidence angle; these coatings perform best at (or near) normal incidence.
As with all Meadowlark Optics retarders, the fast axis is conveniently marked. Custom retardance values are available for wavelengths from 400-1800 nm. Please call for application assistance or to request a custom quotation.
