Ultra-Thin Nanoparticle Polarizers

Ultra-Thin Nanoparticle Polarizers are a lightweight 90µm thick alternative to traditional polarizers while providing a high transmission and an extinction ratio of >10,000:1. Constructed from sodium silicate glass substrate doped with prolate silver nanoparticles, these polarizers provide high temperature stability up to +400°C, chemical resistance, and resistance to UV radiation and bleaching. These polarizers are available uncoated, Single-Side AR coated, or Double-Side AR coated and cover wavelength ranges from 1260-1600nm. Ultra-Thin Nanoparticle Polarizers design are ideal for use in telecom, medical, and aerospace applications as well as in optical isolators, polarization interferometry, and improving signal-to-noise ratio.
