Glan-Taylor Prism (GTP5706)
A Glan-Taylor prism is a product that produces linearly polarized light from light in other polarization states. It consists of two identical birefringent material prisms separated by air. The Glan-Taylor prism splits an incoming unpolarized beam into two rays: one is a linearly polarized ray transmitted from the other side, and the other is an ordinary ray that undergoes total internal reflection and is absorbed.

Applications
High-power laser systems and precision optical instruments: high extinction ratio can separate polarization states, low wavefront distortion maintains beam quality, and high damage threshold withstands the high peak power of solid-state/fiber laser resonators.; Laser processing and micro/nano manufacturing: high polarization purity ensures stable energy transmission and a uniform focus spot, enabling precise cutting, welding, and surface treatment using narrow-linewidth lasers.; Optical metrology and polarization-based testing: low insertion loss and high parallelism enable precise polarization state analysis, supporting stress birefringence measurement and characterization of material optical anisotropy.; Spectral analysis and quantum optics experiments: broadband high transmittance (UV-NIR), high extinction ratio suppresses stray light, suitable for spectrometers, quantum entangled light sources, and other precision optical devices.
Key Features
Air gap; cut near Brewster's angle; high polarization purity; compact; suitable for medium and low power applications
