The zero order waveplate is designed to give a retardance of zero full waves, plus the desired fraction.Zero order waveplate shows better performance than multiple order wavepalte.It has broad bandwidth and a lower sensitivity to temperature and wavelength changes.It should be considered for more critical applications.

This type of zero order waveplate is constructed of two multiple order waveplate with their axes crossed.Thus the effect of the first plate is canceled by the second ,except for the residual difference between them,
