Dichroic Circular Polarizer

Circular polarizers transmit either left-circular polarized light or right-circular polarized light for an input beam of any polarization state. When circularly polarized light is reflected, it’s propagation direction reverses, changing left-circular polarization to right circular polarization and vice-versa. Therefore, the same polarizer that produces circular polarization of the incident beam will block the return beam.

Achievement of optical isolation using the circular polarizer requires that the reflection be specular and that no significant depolarization or polarization modification occur in any intervening medium between the reflector and optical isolator. We offer circular polarizers in two basic designs, each for use in air:​
