Plate Polarizers

Separate s- and p-polarized components of particular wavelength. Due to their high damage threshold Thin Film Polarizers replace Glan laser polarizing prisms or cube polarizing beamsplitter in applications with high energy lasers.

Thin film polarizers working at 45° angle of incidence. Ideal choice for use as polarizing beamsplitter or beam combiner.

Broadband thin film polarizers are designed to be used in high energy laser systems, typically as extracavity attenuators for femtosecond lasers.

Used in laser cavity to transmit 100% of p-polarized component without reflection losses and to introduce losses for s-polarized component. Total reflection of s-polarized component is up to 22 % for UVFS and up to 26% for N-BK7 at 1064 nm.
