Key Takeaways: Optical systems operating in harsh environments face specific challenges related to preventing component damage and maintaining system performance. Diamond like carbon coatings, along with other durable anti-reflective (AR) coatings, offer effective solutions for these systems. DLC coatings are known for their high hardness, low friction, and resistance to scratches and corrosion, while also […]
Key Takeaways: Waveplates, also known as retarders, are optical components used to change the polarization state of light without affecting its intensity or direction. Optical waveplates work by introducing a phase delay between two orthogonal polarization components using birefringent materials like quartz. Key types include quarter-wave plates, half-wave plates, zero-order waveplates, and achromatic waveplates, each […]
