Prisms and Polarizers

Product catalog summary

Overview: This document is a catalog from Ealing, providing detailed information on optical components and instruments, including specifications, pricing, and applications for prisms, polarizers, and waveplates.

Specifications:

Fused Silica Right Angle Prisms: Suitable for 200-2500 nm, with dimension tolerance of ±0.5 mm and angle tolerance of ±10 arcmin.
Glass Right Angle Prisms: Suitable for 330-2100 nm, with dimension tolerance of ±0.25 mm and angle tolerance of ±5 arcmin.
Laser Quality Prisms: High precision, available in fused silica and glass.

Prism Types and Applications:

Right Angle Prisms: Used for beam deflection through 90° or 180°.
Anamorphic Prism Pairs: Correct beam asymmetry, optimized for 650-850 nm.
Equilateral Prisms: Used for spectral separation, available in BK7, SF10, or F2 materials.
Penta Prisms: Provide precise 90° deviation without image inversion.
Dove Prisms: Used for image inversion and rotation, optimized for 400-700 nm.

Polarizers:

Narrowband Polarizing Beamsplitter Cubes: Split polarization states with high efficiency.

Key Features:

Prisms available in various materials and coatings.
Specifications include material type, wavelength range, and tolerances.
Pricing provided for different sizes and types.

Introduction to Waveplates: Waveplates alter the polarization state of light using birefringent materials.

Types of Waveplates:

Quarter Waveplates: Convert linearly polarized light to circularly polarized light and vice versa.
Half Waveplates: Rotate the plane of polarization by 90 degrees.

Zero Order vs. Multiple Order Waveplates:

Zero Order Waveplates: Stable against temperature, wavelength, and angle changes.
Multiple Order Waveplates: Sensitive to temperature and wavelength changes.

Specifications: Made from crystalline quartz with specific retardation and coatings, diameter of 25.4 mm, and laser damage threshold of 500 MW/cm².

Pricing and Availability: Catalog numbers and prices listed, with zero order waveplates at $372.00 and multiple order waveplates at $305.00.
