Polarizer

Polarizer

A polarizer is a crucial optical component, extensively employed in laser systems for producing linearly polarized laser. Based on the principle that the refractive index of light in crystals is associated with the vibration direction of the light's electric vector, it separates two light beams whose vibration directions are perpendicular to each other. It is applicable to applications demanding the broadest spectrum and high polarization purity. CXphotonics, Inc can manufacture polarizers using five materials: α-BBO, Iceland Spar, YVO4, Quartz, and MgF2.

  • Glan-Taylor Polarizer

    A Glan-Taylor prism is a product that converts light of other polarization states into linearly polarized light. It consists of two identical prisms made of birefringent material, separated by an air ..

  • Wollaston Polarizer

    A Wollaston prism splits the incident beam into two rays: the ordinary ray and the extraordinary ray. The deviation angle depends on the wavelength and the cutting angle, and both rays pass through th..

  • Rochon Polarizer

    Similar to a Wollaston polarizer, it splits the incident beam into an ordinary ray and an extraordinary ray. However, the extraordinary ray transmits straight through, while the ordinary ray transmits..
