NEUTRAL DENSITY FILTER

Neutral density filter is a filter that only attenuates the light intensity without changing the spectral energy distribution, also known as the attenuator. It can attenuate the light intensity, and after the light in the range of visible light to near-infrared light passes through the neutral density filter, different wavelengths are attenuated in the same proportion, so that the optical element maintains approximately equal light energy transmittance in the wide band. The neutral density filter is divided into absorption type and reflection type according to the different working principle, at the same time, according to the different working area, it is divided into invariant type and variable type, and variable type is divided into continuous type and step type.

LiNbO3 is widely used in optical fiber communication as a birefringent crystal. The crystal has good physical and mechanical properties, wide light transmission range, high transmittance, easy processing, and lower material cost than other materials. Lithium niobate crystals are widely used in passive optical communication devices such as optical isolators, circulators, polarization splitters, polarizers, etc


POLARIZING BEAM SPLITTER(PBS)

The polarization splitter prism is plated with a multilayer film structure on the inclined surface of the right Angle prism, and then glued into a cube structure. By taking advantage of the property that the transmission rate of P-polarized light is 1 and that of S-polarized light is less than 1 when the light incident at Brewster Angle, the P polarization component can be completely penetrated after the light passes through the multilayer film structure at Brewster Angle for many times. And most of the S polarization component is reflected. Note: Specific bands and extinction ratios can be customized according to customer requirements.
