Versatile linear precision polarizer for research and industry
The Linear precision polarizer is an optical component that enables precise separation of polarization planes. By using dichroic polarizer material laminated between high-quality glass substrates, this polarizer achieves a transmitted wavefront distortion of less than λ/5 at visible wavelengths. This makes it ideal for applications that require precise control of polarization.
Technical features
The Linear precision polarizer covers a wide wavelength range from 320 to 2000 nm and is therefore suitable for various spectral applications. Both visible and near-infrared polarizers come with a highly efficient broadband anti-reflective coating, while single-layer AR coatings are optional on UV polarizers. The design ensures low wavefront distortion and high surface quality, resulting in improved optical performance. Both assembled and unassembled precision linear polarizers are offered as standard, with the axis marked on the component for ease of use.
Application areas of the Linear Precision Polarizer
The Polarizer is used in various fields of optics and photonics, especially where precise control and analysis of polarization is necessary. In spectroscopy, it enables a targeted selection of polarized light, thereby improving measurement accuracy and signal fidelity. In laser optics, the linear precision polarizer is used in beam shaping, in the construction of interferometers or in beam conditioning. This polarizer is also an indispensable element in polarimetric imaging or optical metrology due to its high accuracy. In addition, it is used in research areas such as quantum optics, biophotonics or semiconductor characterization, where exact polarization ratios are crucial for the quality and meaningfulness of the results.
