Polarizers

A polarizer is an important optical component that is widely used in optics to produce a state of linear polarization. We provide Polarizers with three materials, α-BBO, calcite and VYO4, making them suitable for the widest spectrum and high polarization purity application.

 

POLARIZER	MATERIAL	ILLUSTRATION	PROPERTIES AND APPLICATIONS
GLAN TAYLOR POLARIZER	α-BBO (200-3500) Calcite (350-2300) YVO4 (450-5000)		Air-spaced Cutting angle close to Brewster's angle The extraordinary ray passes through with little deviation Sealed mount without escape windows is suitable for low to medium power applications where the rejected beam is not required
GLAN LASER POLARIZER	α-BBO (200-3500) Calcite (350-2300)		Cutting angle close to Brewster's angle Mounted with escape windows, therefore it is suitable for high power applications
GLAN THOMPSON POLARIZER	Calcite (350-2300)		Cemented Suitable for low power applications Special design for the ration of L/A (length/aperture) guarantees the wide acceptance angle
WOLLASTON POLARIZER	Calcite (350-2300)		Cemented Both ordinary and extraordinary beams are deviated Suitable for low power applications and where a large deviation is required
ROCHON POLARIZER	α-BBO (200-3500)		Made by α-BBO material guaranteeing a wide transmission range, especially suited for UV applications Split the ordinary and extraordinary ray, but only extraordinary beam is deviated Wide wavelength range
