Depolarizers

Quartz-Wedge Achromatic Depolarizers

• Optic Axis Alignment Not Required
• Ideal for Broadband Light Sources and Large Diameter (>6 mm) Monochromatic Beams
• Air-Gap Design Allows for use with High-Power Beams
• Available Uncoated (190 – 2500 nm) or with One of Three AR Coatings
  • 350 – 700 nm (-A Coating)
  • 650 – 1050 nm (-B Coating)
  • 1050 – 1700 nm (-C Coating)
    

     

Liquid Crystal Polymer Depolarizers

• Optic Axis Alignment Not Required
• Ideal for Both Broadband Light Sources and Monochromatic Beams
• Depolarize Beams with Diameters as Small as 0.5 mm
• Three AR Coatings Available
  • 350 – 700 nm
  • 650 – 1050 nm
  • 1050 – 1700 nm
• Relatively Insensitive to Angle of Incidence (see LCP vs. Quartz Tab for Details)
