Polarcor
TM
is an all-glass material through which light is transmitted as highly linearly polarized, when the polarization state of the incident light is parallel to the polarization axis. The polarization mechanism, resonant absorption by elongated silver crystals within the glass material, insures the elimination of stray light by absorbing the unwanted light.
Polarcor is characterized by high extinction and low insertion loss throughout the 600 nm to 2300 nm wavelengths. It is a solid glass product that is extremely resistant to chemical, physical, and thermal damage while exhibiting excellent optical properties. Corning has the capability to produce linear and circular type polarizers.
Polarcor is one of the essential optical elements in polarization dependent isolators, optical modulators, polarimetry systems, ellipsometers, shutters and many other polarization based devices.
