Meadowlark Optics’ Retardance Measurement Station, Model TB1000, is the first commercial product for high precision measurements of waveplates. Customer demand triggered the development of the TB1000. This turnkey, fully-enclosed system measures the retardance of multi-order waveplates and same-material compound zero-order waveplates (Sapphire, Magnesium Fluoride, and Quartz). The TB1000 is versatile and portable and can be easily moved from the R&D lab to the production floor, bringing the precision of Meadowlark Optics Metrology Services from our lab to yours.
