True zero-order crystal wave-plate made of ADP crystal

Cs3B3O3F6 with a Deep-Ultraviolet Cutoff Edge and a Suitable Birefringence as the Potential Zero-Order Waveplate Material

“…6,7 The zeroorder waveplate has low-wavelength sensitivity, high-temperature stability, a largely effective angle of acceptance, and a much better performance than a multiple-order waveplate. 8 Owing to its nearly perfect performance in modulating the polarization of light, the zero-order waveplate has been attracting extensive academic and commercial interest. Some commercial zero-order waveplates made of crystals (e.g., quartz, mica, and calcite crystals) 9−11 show excellent performance in the range of the ultraviolet (UV) to infrared (IR) region.…”

“…The key factor is that it can alter the polarization state of light waves . Usually, waveplates are divided into two types, which are zero-order and multiple orders (retardation greater than 2π). , The zero-order waveplate has low-wavelength sensitivity, high-temperature stability, a largely effective angle of acceptance, and a much better performance than a multiple-order waveplate . Owing to its nearly perfect performance in modulating the polarization of light, the zero-order waveplate has been attracting extensive academic and commercial interest.…”
