Polarization Plane Rotator
Material: Made from bulk crystalline quartz.
Orientation: C-cut quartz crystals ensure no stringent alignment is needed between the rotator and the incident beam; only perpendicular incidence is required.
Rotation Angles: Available in fixed rotation angles of 45° or 90°.
Wavelength Specific: Designed for narrow laser wavelengths, including 532 nm, 633 nm, 800 nm, 1030 nm, and 1064 nm.
Temperature Sensitivity: Minimal sensitivity to ambient temperature changes.
Anti-Reflection Coatings: Applied to enhance transmission performance.
Applications: Laser Systems, Optical Instruments, Scientific Research, Industrial Processes, etc.
Polarization Plane Rotators are an excellent alternative to waveplates and retarders, designed to alter the polarization of linearly polarized light at a specific angle. Unlike waveplates, these rotators operate independently of rotation around their optical axis. They are constructed from crystalline quartz, which possesses unique optical properties due to its lattice structure. Depending on the rotation direction of the quartz crystal chains, quartz can be “right” or “left,” rotating polarization clockwise or counter-clockwise.
