This special version of the Glan-Taylor polarizer is cut such that the rejected S-polarized light exits in a direction parallel to the side exit face normal. More importantly, if the beam direction is reversed such that light is entering at the side face, it suffers no refraction at the surface and hence there is no dispersion of the position of the beam in the polarizer. This makes it possible to use this design for combining beams of orthogonal polarization and across a range of wavelengths without losing colinearity of the combined beams.
A range of sizes comparable to our conventional Glan-Taylor polarizers is available but as the prism sizes are larger, there is a modest premium on the price for a given aperture. Please contact us for further information.
