Thin Film Laser Polarizers

Thin Film Laser Polarizers

As a leading manufacturer of high-precision optical components, we specialize in the production of various devices that generate or manipulate polarized light waves. Specifically, we offer a complete line of polarizer optics, including dichroic plate polarizers, cube or plate beamsplitters, transverse polarizers, specialty circular polarizers, Glan laser polarizers, ultrafast polarizers, and more. These polarizers are based on one of four physical phenomena: reflection, selective absorption, scattering, and birefringence.

Reflection – As shown in the example of unpolarized sunlight shining on a horizontal glass plane, the polarization of the light is caused by shining on a reflective surface.

Selective absorption – using anisotropic materials to selectively absorb one of the vertical electric fields while allowing the other to pass undisturbed.

Scattering – Occurs when unpolarized light travels through space and through molecules, resulting in linear polarization along the plane of electron vibration.

Birefringence – A polarizer consists of a material with two indices of refraction, the polarization state and direction of the incident light affects the refraction and resulting polarization state after passing through the material.
