Glan-Taylor Calcite Air Spaced Polarizer

Glan-Taylor Calcite Air Spaced Polarizer

     A range of sizes comparable to our conventional Glan-Taylor polarizers is avaialble but as the prism sizes are larger, there is a modest premium on the price for a given aperture. Please contact us for further information.

Glan-Taylor Calcite Air Spaced Polarizer

The Glan-Taylor design produces a high extinction ratio polarizer with low reflection losses and a high power handling capability. It is therefore particularly useful for polarizing laser light, with the further advantages that there is no transmission deviation or offset, and that a wide spectral range can be polarized.

Glan Taylor Polarizer With Orthogonal Output Side Exit Escape Windows

The Glan Taylor polarizer produces a high extinction ratio with low reflection losses and a high power handling capability.

Specification

Glan-Taylor Polarizer With Brewster Angled Faces

This special version of the Glan-Taylor polarizer is cut such that the P-polarization (extra-ordinary ray) intersects all four optical faces at Brewster's angle, thus ensuring a minimal insertion loss over a wide operating wavelength range. Transmission in fact is approaching 99% for the P-polarization and extinction ratio is exceptional, exceeding that of the more conventional cut Glan-Taylor.

Glan-Taylor Polarizing Beam Combiner

This special version of the Glan-Taylor polarizer is cut such that the rejected S-polarized light exits in a direction parallel to the side exit face normal. More importantly, if the beam direction is reversed such that light is entering at the side face, it suffers no refraction at the surface and hence there is no dispersion of the position of the beam in the polarizer. This makes it possible to use this design for combining beams of orthogonal polarization and across a range of wavelengths without losing colinearity of the combined beams.
