Natural calcite Glan-Taylor polarizing prisms transmit linearly polarized extraordinary beam and deflect the ordinary beam to the housing. Glan-Taylor prisms are designed for operation across the transmission range from 220 nm to 2300 nm.
Mounted prisms are supplied in ø 25 mm black anodized aluminum housings with no escape ports.
