56 Deg Plate Polarizing Beamsplitter, Brewster Angle Of Incidence Overview: This 56 Deg Polarizing Plate Beamsplitters transmit p-polarization and reflect s-polarization as the monochromatic beam entering at Brewster’s angle (56° AOI). They are designed for use in the most demanding lasers. Due to the high laser damage threshold, they are used as an alternative to Glan laser polarizing prisms or cube polarizing beamsplitters. Typical applications are intracavity Q-switch hold

Lateral Displacement Polarization Beamsplitter, Output Two Parallel Beams Overview: Lateral Displacement Polarizing Beamsplitters consist of one or more precision rhomboid prisms cemented to a precision right angle prism.The lateral displacement polarizing beamsplitters output two parallel beams separated by a fixed distance. And the displacement is decided by the size of rhomboid prism. The cemented surface is applied with polarizing beamsplitter coating(with p-polarization

Dichroic Polarizing Film Sheet Polarizer 400-700nm, Linearly Polarized Beam Overview: Dichroic Film Sheet Polarizer featuring a dichroic film sheet is epoxied between two protective glass plates. When a natural beam travels through the dichroic film sheet, the rejected polarization is highly absorbed while the transmitted polarization transmits with a weak absorption, making them to be used converting randomly polarized beam into linearly polarized beam. Compared to

Glan Taylor Polarizer, a-BBO, Calcite and YVO4, Air-spaced Medium power for VIS-IR Overview: A Glan-Taylor prism reflects s-polarized light at an internal air-gap, transmitting only the p-polarized component. The optical axes are vertical in the plane of the diagram. A Glan–Taylor prism is a type of prism which is used as a polarizer or polarizing beam splitter. It is one of the most common types of modern polarizing prism. The prism is made of two right-angled prisms of

Glan Thompson Polarizer, Calcite, Wide Field of View Overview: A Glan–Thompson prism consists of two right-angled calcite prisms that are cemented together by their long faces. The optical axes of the calcite crystals are parallel and aligned perpendicular to the plane of reflection. Birefringence splits light entering the prism into two rays, experiencing different refractive indices; the p-polarized ordinary ray is totally internally reflected from the calcite–cement

Wollaston Polarizers, Wollaston Prisms, Separating Light Into Linearly Polarized Beams With Orthogonal Polarization Overview: A Wollaston prism separates light into two separate linearly polarized outgoing beams with orthogonal polarization. The two beams will be polarized according to the optical axis of the two right angle prisms. The Wollaston prism consists of two orthogonal prisms of birefringent material—typically a uniaxial material such as Calcite, YVO4 and Crystal

Brewster Angle Polarizer, Air-Spaced High Power Use, High Transmission Overview: The Brewster Angle Polarizer is made of two birefrigent crystal material prisms which are assembled with an air space. It is designed such that for the transmitted extraordinary -p polarization, each of the four faces are at Brewster's angle (computed at about 830nm) which makes transmission loss of -p polarization as practically zero, therefore, no anit-reflective coatings needed. In the

Rochon Prism Polarizers, Only Ordinary Ray Undeviated Overview: A Rochon Prism is a type of polarizer. It is made from two prisms of a birefringent material such as crystal quartz and YVO4 which are cemented together. Rochon Prisms split an arbitrarily polarized input beam into two orthogonally polarized output beams. The ordinary ray remains on the same optical axis as the input beam, while the extraordinary ray deviates by an angle, which depends on the wavelength of the

Polarizing Beamsplitter Cube, BK7 And SF Glass, Boradband High Extinction Ratio Overview: Polarizing Beamsplitter Cubes are formed from two right angle, 45° prisms permanently cemented together. The hypotenuse is coated with an all dielectric, polarization sensitive coating designed to separate an incident, unpolarized, monochromatic beam into its S and P polarization components.All entrance and exit surfaces are coated with a high efficiency, narrowband, anti-reflection
