Your choices are...
|
|
|
| |
Glan Thomson Polarizers
|
|
Glan Thomson polarizer is useful for moderate power, visible wavelength applications. They have high extinction ratios, <10-5, and wide acceptance angles.
|
| |
Glan Taylor Polarizers
|
|
Glan Taylor Polarizers have large exinction ratios, and are ideal where the rejected beam is not required.
|
| |
Glan Laser Polarizers
|
|
Glan Laser Polarizers are a form of Glan Taylor Polarizers that are intended for use with high power beams.
|
| |
Wollaston
|
|
Wollaston provides a simple way to split a beam of light into two mutually orthogonal, linearly polarized beams, convenient for double imaging of a single source.
|
| |
Other
|
|
Any other calcite polarizers.

|
 |
| |
Extinction Ratio:
|
|
The ratio of the power of a plane-polarized beam that is transmitted through a polarizer placed in its path with its polarizing axis parallel to the beam's plane, as compared with the transmitted power when the polarizer's axis is perpendicular to the beam's plane.
|
| |
Search Logic:
|
|
All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
|
 |
| |
Transmittance:
|
|
The ratio of the radiant power transmitted by a polarizer to the incident radiant power.
|
| |
Search Logic:
|
|
User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
|
 |
| |
Beam Deviation:
|
|
The deviation of the polarized beam from normal.
