Corning Polarcor™ glass polarizers exhibit high-performance, unmatched
durability, superior quality and most importantly consistency that meets the
most stringent requirements of the
telecommunications, medical,
aerospace and defense and
astronomy industries.
Polarcor 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.
Polarcor is one of the essential optical elements in polarization dependent
isolators, optical modulators, polarimetry systems, ellipsometers, shutters and
many other polarization based devices.
Polarcor is characterized by high extinction and low insertion loss throughout
the 600 nm to 2300 nm wavelengths.
The polarization mechanism, resonant absorption by elongated silver crystals
within the glass material, insures the elimination of stray light by absorbing
the unwanted light.
Since Polarcor is a solid glass product it 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.
