Polarcor™ Dichroic Glass Linear Polarizers
Polarcor™ Dichroic Glass Linear Polarizers
Polarcor™ linear polarizers offer high contrast, high transmission, low wavefront distortion and a wide acceptance angle. The polarizing material – a borosilicate glass with aligned silver particles – is coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating and mounted in a 0.5- or 1-in. diameter aluminum housing. Polarcor polarizers outperform dichroic sheets, wire grid polarizers and polarizing cubes while being less expensive than calcite polarizers.
- Extinction ratio better than 10,000:1
- Wide acceptance angle
- Low wavefront distortion
- High transmission See All Features

Features
Black Anodized Aluminum Mounting Ring
The 0.5 mm thick polarizer is mounted in a black anodized aluminum housing for protection and ease of handling. The standard 12.7 and 25.4 mm outer diameters are convenient for mounting into Newport’s rotary mounts. Each black anodized aluminum housing is marked on the front with reference marks, indicating the direction of the transmission axis.
