Polarizers


Visible Introduction

Click here to see a full image: MicroWires

Moxtek’s PPL Series polarizers are designed for the visible light wavelengths. These optical polarizers offer high heat resistance, allowing more luminescence in the system, acceptance angles of + 20° without depolarization of the skew rays and without compensation films, and can also operate without degradation at high heat and light levels.

ProFlux™ Polarizers are a form birefringence material.  Simply defined, the form, or shape of the MicroWires®, cause birefringence, splitting one ray of light into two rays. Light that is oriented parallel to the MircroWires® reflects (s-plane).  Light that is perpendicular to the wires transmit (p-plane).  The period of the of the MicroWires® as well as the shape, height, and width of the wires all affect the overall performance of ProFlux® polarizer.
