| Zero and Multiple Order Waveplates |
PPC uses laser-grade crystal quartz to produce multiple-order, true zero-order and compound zero-order waveplates with retardations of quarter-wave, half-wave or anything in-between.
Waveplates are available as stand-alone components, or as part of a more complex optical assembly. PPC manufactures custom multi-element polarization assemblies with and without epoxy in sizes from 1 mm to 4" for R&D, biomedical and aerospace applications.
Main Features:
- Multiple order, true zero order,compound zero order
- Operating Wavelength: UV, Visible, NIR, MWIR (266–5000 nm)
- Retardation Tolerance: As low as λ/500
- Transmitted Wavefront: λ/10 p-v 633 nm
- AR Coating: <0.1% per surface
- Available Materials: Crystal quartz, sapphire
- Shapes: Round, square, rectangular
- Typical Size: From 1 mm to >100 mm

| Micro Optics |
These high-quality custom optics and optical assemblies combine our IBS coatings, ultraprecise fabrication capabilities and epoxy-free, which are widely used in the telecommunications, semi-conductor and biomedical industries.
Because of their miniature size, they can be placed right at the objective lens or at the tip of optical fibers and light pipes.
Applications:
- Beam-delivery micro-systems
- Fiber-optic
- Endoscopic systems
- Fluorescence spectroscopy
- Raman spectroscopy
- Optical-coherence tomography (OCT)
- Multiphoton microscopy (MPM)
- Confocal microscopy.
Main Features:
- High precision laser optics and assemblies from 1 mm in size
- Multi-element, micro-optic assemblies with epoxy-free optical paths
- Custom dielectric HR, AR and polarizing coatings available
- Operating Wavelength: UV, Visible, NIR, telecom bands, MWIR (250–5000 nm)
Products include: Solid and air-spaced etalons,Polarization beam splitters,Waveplates,Beamsplitter cubes,Right angle turning prisms.
