10 mm Calcite Polarizer Typical Transmission

The Glan-Laser Calcite Polarizer is a Glan-Taylor polarizer that is specically designed to deal with high-energy laser light. These polarizers are manufactured from only select portions of the calcite crystal, which must pass a laser scattering sensitivity test. Like our Glan-Taylor Prisms, these prisms are ideal for applications requiring extremely high polarization purity (100,000:1), high damage threshold (500 MW/cm2), and a broad wavelength range (350 nm 2.3 m). Two polished side exit ports are provided to allow bidirectional use of the prism polarizer. These side ports also ensure that the rejected light from high-power lasers can safely exit the polarizer. 350 - 700 nm AR-Coated Calcite

Polarizing Prism Mounts

SM05PM5 (GL5 Sold Separately)

These prism mounts are designed to accommodate the Glan-Laser Calcite Polarizers or the GlanTaylor Calcite Polarizers. The rotating cover allows the user to block the two side ports. The SM1PM10 and SM1PM15 utilize our SM1 Series thread to allow direct mounting into our highprecision PRM1 rotation stage. The SM05PM5 utilizes an SM05 thread, which is compatible with the PRM05.
