Glan-Thompson Polarizer

Electro-optics

Calcite is a naturally occurring birefringent crystal. By precisely controlling internal prism angles in these calcite polarizers, a very efficient linear polarizer is produced.

Meadowlark Optics offers Glan-Thompson Polarizers, intended for precision optical instrumentation and low power laser applications. Key advantages of Glan-Thompson Polarizers include excellent extinction ratio performance and a broad spectral range.

Our Glan-Thompson Polarizers are supplied in a black anodized cylindrical housing for easy mounting. The housing is marked to indicate the polarization axis of the transmitted beam. The rejected component of the beam is totally internally reflected and eventually absorbed by the anodized aluminum.
