Properties and Application

Glan-Taylor
Polarizer

YVO4
(450-5000)

• Air-spaced
• Cutting angle close to Brewster¡¯s Angle.
• The extraordinary ray passes through straightly with little deviation.
• Sealed mount without escape windows is suitable for low to medium power application where the rejected beam is not required.

Glan- Laser
Polarizer

Calcite
(350-2300)

• It is better than Glan Taylor polarizer.
• Mounted with escape windows. Therefore, it is suitable for high power application.

Glan-Thompson
Polarizer

Calcite
(350-2300)

• Cemented.
• Suits for low power application.
• Special design for the ratio of L/A (length/aperture) guarantees the wide acceptance angle.

Wollastom
Polarizer

Calcite
(350-2300)

• Cemented.
• Both ordinary and extraordinary beams are deviated.
• Suits for low power application and where the large deviation is required.

Rochon
Polarizer

¦Á-BBO
(190-3500)

• Made by¦Á-BBO material guarantee the wide transmission, especially, suits for UV application.
• Split the ordinary and extraordinary ray, but only extraordinary beam is deviated.
• Wide wavelength range
