GLAN THOMPSON POLARIZER

The Glan-Thompson prism is made of two crystals bonded together. It has a very large field of view while maintaining a high extinction ratio. Its wavelength range is wide; the a-BBO material Glan-Thompson prism operates in the 200-900nm range, and the Calcite material Glan-Thompson prism operates in the 350-2300nm range. It is an ideal wide-band, large-field-of-view polarizing device, often used as a polarizer in spectral analysis systems.

GLAN THOMPSON POLARIZER


Basic Parameters

Gran-Thompson prisms are made of various materials, including calcite crystals and a-BBO crystals. 
Gran-Thompson prisms are made by bonding two crystals together. They have a very large field of view while maintaining a relatively high extinction ratio. They have a wide wavelength range; a-BBO material Gran-Thompson prisms operate in the 200-900nm wavelength range, and calcite material Gran-Thompson prisms operate in the 350-2300nm wavelength range. They are ideal wide-band, large-field polarizing devices, often used as polarizers in spectral analysis systems. 
Note: Due to the presence of an adhesive layer, Gran-Thompson prisms cannot withstand high power. For high-power applications, please use our Gran laser prisms.

YVO4

Yttrium alumate (YVO4) is an excellent birefringent crystal material, which is a negative uniaxial crystal. The crystal has good physical and mechanical properties, wide light transmission range, high transmittance, large birefringence coefficient and easy processing. YVO4 crystal can replace ice SPAR and crystal red stone in the field of optical fiber communication, is the key material in optical communication passive devices such as optical isolators, circulators, polarization splitters, polarizers.


Caicite

Caicite Crystal is a kind of natural birefringent material, in the shape of diamond, birefringence coefficient is large, through the spectrum is wide, from visible to near infrared has relatively good optical properties. Although the mechanical strength of Iceland SPAR material is soft and easy to scratch, it still does not affect its wide application in polarization devices. Caicite is mainly used in Glan POLARIZER.


LiNbO3

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.
