  • 2~30 µmの波長範囲に対応した偏光子
  • 消光比は150:1~300:1 (「仕様」タブをご参照ください)
  • 2つのサイズが選択可能: Ø25 mmおよびØ50 mm
  • ワイヤ方向が明示された2重保護リングにマウント

偏光子は、直線偏光の光を透過し、無偏光(またはランダム偏光)の光源からの直交偏光を阻止します。 当社のホログラフィックワイヤーグリッド偏光子は2~30 µmのスペクトル領域(333~5000 cm-1)で動作します。 この製品は、フッ化バリウム(BaF2)、フッ化カルシウム(CaF2)、臭化タリウム - ヨウ化タリウム(KRS-5)またはセレン化亜鉛(ZnSe)などの赤外線を透過する基板を使用し、ホログラフィックな手法を用いて直線の溝が加工されています。 次に溝に金属が蒸着されてワイヤーグリッドが形成されています。 ワイヤーグリッドは、グリッドに平行に偏光された放射光を吸収、反射するため、透過光の偏光はワイヤに対して垂直になります。ワイヤの方向は線で示されています(右図をご参照ください)。これは当社の他のワイヤーグリッド偏光子とは異なります。

当社のホログラフィックワイヤーグリッド偏光子の消光比は、150:1~300:1で、Ø25 mmまたはØ50 mmの2重保護リングマウントに取り付けられた状態で出荷されます。 詳細は「仕様」タブをご参照ください。 ワイヤは、マウントに刻まれている白い線に対して平行に形成されています(上図をご参照ください)。 当社では偏光子はペアでの使用を推奨しております。ペアで使用する場合の方が、指定の波長範囲において緩やかに可変減衰させることができます。 2つの偏光子をグリッドが平行になるように連続してつなげて使用した場合、20,000:1を超える消光比が簡単に得られます。

このような偏光子は一般的には、無偏光の分子レーザからの出射光の偏光または偏光光源からの放射の減衰に用います。 またこれらは、偏光ビームスプリッタの出力光のチューニングにも使えます。 当社では近赤外域から中赤外域の光で使用できるナノ粒子フィルム型直線偏光子もご提供しています。

注: 他の回折格子と同様にワイヤーグリッド偏光子(特にKRS-5から加工された偏光子)の表面は極めてデリケートです。 取り扱い時には、決して表面は触れずに、端面を持ってください。 クリーニングの際は、微風でほこりを慎重に取り除く方法以外は用いないことをお勧めします。

また、フッ化バリウム、KRS-5、セレン化亜鉛は危険な材料なので、取扱いには特にご注意ください。 これらの光学素子を取り扱う際には必ず手袋を着用いただき、事後にはよく手を洗ってください。セレン化亜鉛の製品安全データシート(MSDS)はこちら、フッ化バリウムの製品安全データシート(MSDS)はこちらから、それぞれダウンロードいただけます。

使用済みのセレン化亜鉛偏光子を廃棄される場合には、自治体の規則に従って廃棄してください。

Good morning. I am interested in transmission data of KRS and BaF2 polarizers, so as to compare the transmission of my setup. Could you please provide this to me?
cdolbashian  (posted 2023-09-25 10:28:45.0)
Thank you for reaching out to us with this request for additional data. I have contacted you directly to share the information which we have regarding this inquiry. For future technical requests, please feel free to email techsupport@thorlabs.com directly for the fastest reply to these types of inquiries.

Do you require that this part be kept in a low humidity environment to prevent fogging? Outside of the wire grid are there any other coatings to minimize fogging?
cdolbashian  (posted 2023-08-04 11:34:48.0)
Thank you for reaching out to us with this inquiry. These parts are made with non hydrophilic substrates while the wire grid is made of pure aluminum. In normal lab environments, we would not expect fogging to happen.

I would like to know if the holographic wire grid polarisors are suitable as beam-splitters. To determine this I need information on the reflectance properties of the device. The spectral range I am interested in is 5 to 30+ microns so the KRS-5 is most applicable. Assuming these are suitable for use as Beamsplitter would you be able to supply custom devices, larger and possibly a substrate with surfaces titled relative to each other to avoid inter-reflection. Kind regards, Jon.
cdolbashian  (posted 2021-08-27 10:58:16.0)
Thank you for contacting us Jon. We would not recommend using this polarizer as a beam splitter as it absorbs a significant portion of the incoming beam, and we do not have data on the angular and wavelength dependent reflection coefficients through the full wavelength range. I have reached out to you directly to discuss your specific application and the potential for a custom. For future custom inquiries, please feel free to reach out to our "Solutions Team" at TechSales@thorlabs.com.

Questions on Holographic Grid Polarizer: What is the spectral transmittance between maximum and minimum transmittance for the 2 to 15um choice
nbayconich  (posted 2018-04-12 02:58:05.0)
Thank you for your feedback. We do not have transmission data for these polarizers in between the maximum and minimum transmission of these polarizers. I will contact you directly to provide the raw data of the max and min transmission. You can determine the transmission of any polarizer by using Malus's law with states that the transmission of a linearly polarized source at some angle Θ with respect to the transmission axis of a polarizer is I=Io*(CosΘ)^2.

zachary.flom  (posted 2014-09-13 21:41:33.017)
Will these polarizers (specifically the BaF2 and CaF2 version) pass a decent fraction of light at 650nm? I just want to make sure our pointing lasers will still be visible after passing through two or three of these (assuming the pointing laser is correctly polarized to pass through). Thanks.

Thorlabs  (posted 2010-07-22 10:59:25.0)
Response from Javier at Thorlabs to m.kaucikas: Thank you for your feedback. The wire grid polarizers do not depolarize the reflected beam. Also, we specify a surface flatness of ?/20 @ 10.6 µm for Ø25 mm Polarizers and ?/10 @ 10.6 µm for Ø50 mm Polarizers, so the amount of distortion in the beam is negligible. However, the beam quality is affected slightly by the KRS-5 polarizers.
m.kaucikas  (posted 2010-07-09 16:56:33.0)
I am also interested in reflection from WGP. But I have linearly polarized beam falling onto WGP for reflection. Will it depolarize reflected beam? Will there be any distortions in the beam?

Response from Javier at Thorlabs to last poster: The surface of a wire grid polarizer is extremely delicate. Nothing should ever be allowed to touch the surface of the polarizer. Handling, when necessary, should be by the edge only and with protected fingers. Careful removal of dust by gentle air flow is the only cleaning procedure recommended.

A response from Ken at Thorlabs to tkragh: The index lines on the housing indicate which side the grooves are located, and are parallel to the direction of the grooves. When the plane of polarization of linearly polarized incident light is parallel to the direction of the grooves, the incident light is reflected, and the transmitted light is at a minimum. When the polarization plane is perpendicular to the direction of the grooves, the transmitted light is at a maximum.
tkragh  (posted 2009-12-05 13:04:15.0)
I have a simple question about polarization angle conventions. Does the index line marking on the mounting ring correspond to the orientation of the wire-grid, or the orientation of the outgoing EM-field? In other words, if the index lines on the ring are orientated Up/Down (12oclock/6oclock), will the outgoing EM-field be horizontally polarized? Thanks.

The "Overview" mentions that the clear aperture of this product is 43mm. But I believe it should be 34mm as mentioned in the AutoCAD drawing.

Hi, We are looking for a BaF2 wire grid polarizer with diameter as large as 3 inches. Do you take customer order? Hong Wei
technicalmarketing  (posted 2008-02-14 14:25:09.0)
Due to surface reflections, the reflected beam will contain both polarizations (E-vectors both parallel to and perpendicular to the wire). Therefore, the reflected light doesnt have a pure polarization. However, you could use a second wire grid polarizer in the reflected beam path to choose light polarized in a particular direction.

What is the polarization purity of the light reflected from your wire grid polarizers? Thanks, Bret Cannon
