01 Feb 2011 BFi OPTiLAS, pan-European partner of Precision Photonics Corporation (PPC), is proud to announce a new line of super broadband, high energy polarizers for visible to near-infrared applications.
Like our selection of laser-line polarizing beamsplitter cubes and beam combiners, these components utilize PPC’s advanced ion-beam-sputtering (IBS) coatings and Telcordia-qualified CADB® epoxy-free bonding technique to provide unique, low-loss optical components that are thermally stable and suitable for high power Nd:YAG and fiber laser applications where fluences are greater than 500 mJ/cm2 and calcite or cemented cube polarizers cannot be used.
This super broadband polarizer maintains a > 500:1 extinction ratio throughout the entire Visible to Near-Infrared (400-1100nm) without sacrificing overall transmission (Tp > 92%) or damage threshold (> 10J/cm2!). These fused silica beam splitters are available with a standard ½” x ½” input face, and custom prism polarizer assemblies will be available in sizes from 1mm to > 25mm.
