The polarization rotator with liquid crystal from Meadowlark Optics is a sophisticated two-stage device for controlling orthogonal polarizations. In addition, this rotator enables rapid switching between two linear polarization states. When voltage is applied, the output polarization remains parallel to the input polarization. Without voltage, the polarization is rotated orthogonally. Thanks to its innovative liquid crystal technology, the device offers precise control options for a wide range of optical applications.
LC polarization rotator for highest precision and speed
In addition, the liquid crystal rotator uses a twisted nematic structure that ensures particularly fast switching times. With a response time of less than 5 milliseconds The rotator reacts extremely quickly in the visible spectrum. This makes it ideal for applications where speed and precision are crucial. The high extinction level of over 10.000:1 the rotator achieves maximum performance. It shows its excellent performance especially with narrow bandwidths or single laser lines.
Vibration-free and durable – perfect for optical systems
Since the rotator works completely without mechanical movement, there are no unwanted vibrations or noises. The solid construction with high-quality materials such as synthetic quartz glass ensures durability and stability, even under intensive use. With a temperature range of 10 °C to 60 °C in the company and -40 °C to 90 °C During storage, the rotator remains reliable even under demanding conditions.
Wide compatibility and customizable options
The polarization rotator with liquid crystal covers a wide wavelength range from 400 to 1800 nm In addition, users can choose between different spectral regions, including VIS (450–700 nm), IR1 (650–950 nm), IR2 (900–1250 nm) and IR3 (1200–1700 nm)In addition, the flexible adaptation of the optical specifications such as diameters and apertures enables the rotator to be optimally integrated into existing optical systems.
Liquid Crystal Optical Rotator – Versatility and Precision in One Device
In addition, the polarization rotator with liquid crystal from Meadowlark Optics is an ideal solution for applications that require precise polarization control, fast switching times and vibration-free operation. With its advanced liquid crystal technology, it sets new standards. And thanks to its robust design, it is impressive in optical beam control even in demanding applications.
