Wollaston calomel IR polarizer

Calomel crystalline polarizers are the best choice for the mid-IR (5-17μm) applications requiring high Extinction Ratio (>1: 10 000) and power load light source resistance. Calomel Polarizers are commonly used to polarize unpolarized sources, attenuate unpolarized radiation, or act as a beam splitters.

Principle - Key benefits

A calomel Wollaston polarizer can be used as either a polarizing element that removes an angled orthogonally polarized component of a beam or as a polarization beamsplitter/combiner.

Product Highlights:

• High ER contrast (>1: 10 000)
• Broadband transparency VIS to mid–IR (0.4μm – 17μm)
• Highest birefringence on the market (Δn = 0.683)
• Optical positive (ne > no)
