Polarizing Optics
Phase retardation plates. Half- and quarter- wave in
crystalline quartz:
Standard range:
- MO - multiple order (1-1.5 mm or more thick),
- LO - low order (0.3-0.5 mm thick),
- ZO - zero order (compensated, thickness 2-3 mm, made of two
optically contacted or for high power applications air spaced phase
plates),
- diameter 20
mm,
- wave front
distortion L/10 per inch, finish 20/10 scr/dig
- AR-coated R<0.2% each surface (high power)
Options:
- diameter
from 10 to 70 mm,
-
mounted
Polarizers. Thin film dielectric, Glan-Taylor air spaced prisms available. The later may be AR coated, Brewster shaped, made from material of different quality for high or low power, NIR-VIS or UV region systems with correspondingly varying price. Standard dimensions are 10x10, 12x12, 15x15 mm. Optionally mounted.
