Glan Taylor Polarizers
Air-Spaced Design: The prisms are joined with an air-gap construction, eliminating adhesive and enhancing the polarizer’s durability.
Optical Axis Alignment: The optical axes of the prisms are aligned to ensure that the extraordinary component is transmitted while the ordinary component is reflected.
No Escape Port: Unlike the Glan Laser Polarizer, the Glan Taylor Polarizer does not include an escape port, making it suitable for lower power applications.
Applications: Optical research and testing, Laser technology, Optical communications, Optical Imaging and Detection, etc.
A Glan Taylor Polarizer is an optical device designed to separate polarized light into orthogonal components using two wedge prisms with an air-gap construction. This polarizer is similar in principle to the Glan Laser Polarizer but is specifically tailored for low and medium power applications.
