The achromatic waveplates consist of birefringent crystals of two different materials, which allow for a more uniform phase delay over a wide wavelength range because the dispersion of the two materials is not the same. The achromatic waveplates are also less sensitive to temperature.
· Glued and air-gap options available
·Very wide temperature bandwidth
·Customization support
