About Optical Polarizers

Optical polarizers are optical devices that can transform unpolarized or natural light into polarized light, usually by the selective transmission of polarized rays. They are used in infrared (IR), visible light, and ultraviolet (UV) applications. IR polarizers are designed for use in the 750 nm to 2500 nm wavelength range. Optical polarizers for visible light are designed for use in the 380 nm to 750 nm wavelength range. UV polarizers used in the 4 nm to 380 nm wavelength range. For each type of optical polarizer, performance specifications include clear aperture, extinction ratio, transmittance, beam deviation, and operating temperature.
