Broadband high power polarizers for visible or near IR wavelengths
Air-spaced
Close to Brewster`s Angle Cutting
High Polarization Purity
Short Length
Double escape windows for intracavity use
Prisms from α-BBO or YVO4 are available upon request
High Power Glan Polarizing Prisms produces linear polarized light
from unpolarized input and is made of a higher grade calcite. The
prism has two escape windows to allow the rejected beams to
escape. Its entrance and exit faces are polished using deep grinding
and polishing technique to minimize scatter from surface.
