Glan Taylor prism polarizer is made of two same
birefringent material prisms that are assembled with an air space.
Its length to aperture ratio which is less than 1.0 makes it a relatively
thin polarizer. The polarizer with no side escape windows is suitable
for low to medium power application where the side rejected beams
are not required. The angular field of different materials of polarizers
is listed below for comparison.
Angular Field vs Wavelength
a -BBO, 200-300nm
a -BBO, 300-700nm
a -BBO, 700-3000nm
Calcite, 350-2300nm
YVO4, 500-4000nm
Features:
Air-spaced
Close to Brewster's Angle Cutting.
High Polarization Purity.
Short Length.
Suitable for low to medium power application where the rejected
beam is not required.
