Waveplates, also known as retarders, are optical components used in laboratory equipment to control the polarization of light. They are used in a variety of applications, such as spectroscopy, microscopy, and imaging. Waveplates are typically made of birefringent materials, such as quartz, and are designed to rotate the plane of polarization of light passing through them. Waveplates are used in a variety of laboratory equipment, such as spectrometers, microscopes, and imaging systems. They are also used in optical communication systems, such as fiber optics, and in laser systems. Waveplates are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, and can be customized to meet specific requirements. The waveplate market is highly competitive, with a number of manufacturers offering a wide range of products. Some of the leading companies in the market include Thorlabs, Newport Corporation, Edmund Optics, and CVI Melles Griot. These companies offer a variety of waveplates, including zero-order waveplates, multiple-order waveplates, and achromatic waveplates. Show Less Read more
