This bi-stable system changes state when the polarity of the 5 VDC driving voltage is changed (it has an undetermined state when not energized); response time is an impressive <80 ìs. The 50075 mounts directly to Oriel 1.5 Inch Series female flanged instruments. A 6.5 ft. (2 m) BNC lead connects the shutter to your square wave generator. It is for visible light only. Filter UV radiation, as it can permanently damage the FLC material, with the 51292 UV Long Pass Filter.

Ordering Information Model Description 50075 Optical Shutter 51292 UV Long Pass Filter 7123 Filter Holder See our website WEBfor more info The design of our optical shutter is simple. A thin layer of FLC (ferroelectric liquid crystal) material is sandwiched between two polarizers. When +5 VDC is applied, the optical axis of the FLC layer, ë/2 thick at 510 nm, rotates ~45° with respect to the first polarizer. After passing through the FLC layer, the orientation of the polarization axis of the transmitted light rotates ~90°, allowing transmittance through the second polarizer. Fig. 1 illustrates the principle. When -5 VDC is applied to the shutter, the optic axis of the FLC is aligned with the input polarizer, producing no polarization rotation. The second, crossed polarizer blocks the light, closing the shutter. Fig. 1 Principle of operation of 50075 Optical Shutter.
