Waveplates (retardation plates or phase shifters) are made from materials which exhibit birefringence. The velocities of the extraordinary and ordinary rays through the birefringent material varies inversely with their refractive indices. This difference in velocities gives rise to a phase difference when the two beams recombine.

Half Waveplate
A half waveplate rotates linearly polarized light to any desired orientation. The rotation angle is twice the angle between the incident polarized light and the optical axis. Therefore, the half waveplate can be used as a continuously adjustable polarization rotator. The half waveplate is used to rotate the plane of polarization, electro-optic modulation and as a variable ratio beamsplitter when used in conjunction with a polarization cube.
Quarter Waveplate
When linearly polarized light is input at 45deg to the axis of a quarter waveplate, the output is circularly polarized, similarly, input circularly polarized light is transformed into linearly polarized light. The quarter waveplate is used in creating circular polarization from linear or linear polarization from circular, ellipsometry, optical pumping, suppressing unwanted reflection and optical isolation.

Wedge prism is an optical element with plane-inclined surfaces, usually the faces are inclined toward one another at a very small angles. It diverts light toward its thicker portion. Wedge prisms can be used as isolating components. Wedges may also be used to produce a small deviation which doesnt allow return to source.

Penta Prisms are used to define right angles in optical systems. Penta Prisms, which provide right handed images,feature a ray deviation of 90°. Penta Prisms are five-sided prisms are unaffected by slight movements. HG OPTRONICS offers a variety of Penta Prisms for optimal performance in the Ultraviolet (UV), Visible, or Infrared (IR) spectrums.

MgF2 or Magnesium Fluoride is positive uni-axial crystal with a very high optical transmittance from the vacuum UV to IR. It is regularly used for optical elements where extreme ruggedness and durability is required. It also has a large resistance to mechanical and thermal shock, to optical radiation, and is chemically stable, making it a very useful materials for UV and IR optics.

Color glass changed the spectral properties of optical radiation. They therefore allow scientific experiments and industrial applications where that change is necessary. You can combine color glass filters together to change the bandpass or to increase the attenuation. Color glass change the spectral properties of optical radiation.
