The ferroelectric optical shutters from Meadowlark Optics combines the highest speed with precise polarization control. Thanks to the advanced ferroelectric liquid crystal technology, the shutter offers exceptionally fast switching times of less than 100 µs, making it ideal for applications with high demands on speed and reliability. With its vibration-free function and the absence of mechanical movement, the shutter enables silent operation without unwanted vibrations.
Achromatic technology in ferroelectric optical shutter for wide wavelength range
The FLC shutter operates over a wide wavelength range of 450–720 nm. It can also be used on request for wavelengths up to 2 micrometers Due to the dichroic polarizers, this lens achieves FLC shutter maximum light transmission and high contrast of ≥ 200:1In addition, these properties are ideal for demanding applications such as broadband phase modulation, laser beam control and precise polarimetry.
Fast switching times and reliable operation
With switching times of less than 100 µs for the change between “open” and “closed” the ferroelectric optical shutters lightning fast. This makes it ideal for applications that require the highest speed. Thanks to the low operating voltage of ± 5 to 30 volts remains the liquid crystal shutter can also be used in energy-efficient systems. In addition, the high-quality construction guarantees a long service life and consistently high performance, even under demanding conditions.
Compact and adaptable FLC shutter for versatile applications
The ferroelectric optical shutters is available in various sizes, including options with 1 inch and 2 inches diameter and clear apertures of 0.37 inches until 0.70 inchesIn addition, the robust design allows easy integration into specific optical systems. Therefore, this high-speed optical shutters a versatile solution for research and industry.
