This summer I would like to add a wave plate to my bench. I was wondering if anyone could recommend one? Has anyone tried to cleave mica themselves? Thank you.

Check out T. Kallard "EXPLORING LASER LIGHT" OPTOSONIC PRESS 1977 - pages 90-93.Many common plastics such as cellophane, certain scotch tape etc. will exhibit bifringence - check them between crossed polarizers.Mica cleaves very easy using a blade or even a fingernail.The best ones are made of optical grade quartz. 216.177.31.180

What is the difference between a "zero order" and a "multiple order" wave plate? 64.167.150.4
