The 10RP52-1B Achromatic Quartz-MgF2 Half Wave Plate consists of two different birefringent crystals: crystalline quartz and magnesium fluoride (MgF2). Enclosed in a 1 inch (25.4 mm) housing. This 18 mm aperture zero-order half waveplate has &lambda,/2 retardation over a 400 to 700 nm wavelength range. It has a highly efficient broadband antireflection coating, in an air-spaced design. Achromatic Quartz-MgF2 Wave Plates are also less expensive than achromatic polymer film wave plates.
