Waveplates With holes for New Designs

Tower Optical Corp., a supplier of premium waveplates, is now supplying precision waveplates with user specified holes, both diameter and location.

New optical subsystem design is being predicated on reducing the overall size of the end product design. In order to accomplish this it is necessary to reduce the space utilized by the beam path. One way to do this is to provide a return path that uses the same space as the transmit path. In the case of waveplates this can be accomplished by placing a hole in the waveplate for either the transmitted or returned beam as required by the design.

Custom designs are welcome for the waveplate and the hole(s) required. Please contact sales@toweroptical.com.
