Zero-Order Waveplate
Waveplates control optical phase in precision systems. Birefringence introduces a precise phase/optical-path difference between orthogonal vibration components. Applications include communications, lasers, sensing, polarimetry and quantum optics. In fiber communications, particularly 1/4 waveplates form core isolator components, preventing reverse reflections, protecting sensitive lasers and stabilizing communication systems.
