1/2 wave plates are ready to go

**Jem** · 09-09-2013, 05:54

Possibly 3 x red and 3 x green, all mounted. Won't be able to definitely commit for a short while though.

Price would be the same at $35AUD inc airmail shipping - extra $5AUD for mounting ring.

I was planning on only doing red and blue plates, however I have lots of mounted 532nm plates on the shelf

Have you ever glued a waveplate to a bps? If so what glue did you use?

I did this with just some epoxy on the corner. Was time consuming to be sure you had rotation a narrow window just right before glueing.

I was looking into uv curing adhesive, but stupid edmundoptics charge me 25euro shipping for a small 27 euro bottle

Anyone know a source with less shipping costs?

Just buy glaslijm from bison. €7,95 from the local bouwmarkt.
As a rock after 10sec exposure with a uv-couterfeit keychain led.
Same refraction index as bk7.

Best advise award 2013 goes to bart, thank you!

I'm interested in 1 blue and 1 red wave plate, mounted. Thanks

That is interesting... I might catch a later group buy on this. I'm spent out for now.

Should do experiments first too, I'm already aiming my compromises at compactness in a very small space.
