Thin-Film Circular Polarizer, Operating Wavelength Band: 450-650 nm OPPC1R-VIS
JCOPTIX thin-film circular polarizers cover 450-650 nm for visible polarization applications. A polarizer and achromatic quarter-wave plate are cascaded in a sandwich between two protective UV fused silica windows, with antireflection-coated air-facing surfaces. A standard aluminum ring of 25.4 mm outside diameter or standard SM lens tube prevents additional stress on the film. A laser-marked arrow points toward the linear polarizer side and aligns with its polarization axis. Use: 1. Light entering from the polarizer side indicated by the arrow emerges circularly polarized, generating circular polarization. 2. Light entering from the quarter-wave side, opposite the arrow direction, emerges linearly polarized. This configuration acts as a circular analyzer, transmitting one handedness and blocking the other. JCOPTIX offers left- and right-handed versions according to output handedness. High transmission and extinction within the band suit various low-power laboratory lasers.
