Polarcor™ UltraThin™ Glass Polarizers

Polarcor™ UltraThin™ is a 30-micron glass polarizer that provides greater versatility for managing polarization in components throughout a telecommunications network and for developing high performance, cost-effective components. The durability of Polarcor UltraThin is similar to that of the standard Polarcor product. UltraThin is unique due to the thinness of the material, allowing low loss fiber-to-fiber and fiber-to-device coupling without expensive micro lenses.

Polarcor is made from a highly durable borosilicate glass containing elongated silver crystals aligned along a common axis. It has served the telecommunications market since 1984 and is the polarization material of choice for polarization dependant isolators used in DFB lasers for telecommunications networks. In the standard 200 and 500-micron thick product, polarization occurs within 25 to 50 microns of each surface; in the UltraThin product, polarization occurs throughout the entire body of the glass. UltraThin serves as a linear polarizer to reduce signal-to-noise ratio.
