Calcite Polarizer Type
Calcite polarizers come in many configurations for specific polarization applications.



           
   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.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Polarizer Performance




   Wavelength Range:
 
     The wavelength range the polarizer is designed to work in.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   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.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.
   Clear Aperture
 
     The length of a side of the polarizers working area.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
Polarizer Geometry




   Diameter:
 
     Diameter of polarizer and housing.
 
   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.
   Length:
 
     The length of the polarizer and housing.
 
   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.
Polarizer Surface




   Surface Quality:      Surface quality of the calcite.
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   10-5 Scratch / Dig
 
     A dig is a defect on a polished optical surface that is nearly equal in terms of its length and width. A scratch is a defect on a polished optical surface whose length is many times its width. 10 / 5 indicates the average diameter of the digs to be .05 mm and the average length of a scratch is .10 mm.
 
   20-10 Scratch / Dig
 
     A dig is a defect on a polished optical surface that is nearly equal in terms of its length and width. A scratch is a defect on a polished optical surface whose length is many times its width. 20 / 10 indicates the average diameter of the digs to be .10 mm and the average length of a scratch is .20 mm.
 
   40-20 Scratch / Dig
 
     A dig is a defect on a polished optical surface that is nearly equal in terms of its length and width. A scratch is a defect on a polished optical surface whose length is many times its width. 40 / 20 indicates the average diameter of the digs to be .20 mm and the average length of a scratch is .40 mm.
 
   60-40 Scratch / Dig
 
     A dig is a defect on a polished optical surface that is nearly equal in terms of its length and width. A scratch is a defect on a polished optical surface whose length is many times its width. 60 / 40 indicates the average diameter of the digs to be .40 mm and the average length of a scratch is .60 mm.
 
   80-50 Scratch / Dig
 
     A dig is a defect on a polished optical surface that is nearly equal in terms of its length and width. A scratch is a defect on a polished optical surface whose length is many times its width. 80 / 50 indicates the average diameter of the digs to be .50 mm and the average length of a scratch is .80 mm.
 
   Other
 
     Any other Scratch / Dig surface quality rating.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Surface Flatness:      The surface flatness of the plate polarizer, given in terms of lambda(lambda=633nm).
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   lambda/2
 
     The biggest variation in surface height for the polarizer is no more then lambda/2 (lambda=633nm).
 
   lambda/4
 
     The biggest variation in surface height for the polarizer is no more then lambda/4 (lambda=633nm).
 
   lambda/5
 
     The biggest variation in surface height for the polarizer is no more then lambda/5 (lambda=633nm).
 
   lambda/8
 
     The biggest variation in surface height for the polarizer is no more then lambda/8 (lambda=633nm).
 
   lambda/10
 
     The biggest variation in surface height for the polarizer is no more then lambda/10 (lambda=633nm).
 
   lambda/20
 
     The biggest variation in surface height for the polarizer is no more then lambda/20 (lambda=633nm).
 
   Other
 
     Any other surface flatness.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
