PRODUCT DETAILS

Photonic Crystal Polarizing Optical Components

Custom Polarizer & Phase Plates

Our products can be customized not only for the optical properties, but also for the shape and the spatial distribution of those properties. In particular, they can be made non-uniformly, having a segmented structure or a curved axis along the surface.
Customization of the patterned polarizer/waveplate is welcome.

Half-Mirror Polarizer for Laser Cavity

Reflectivity for each polarization can be tuned separately. As a half-mirror in a laser resonance cavity, the element is used to generate and select the output polarization of the laser. Because of its inorganic nature, the element can withstand very high optical power.

Axial polarization conversion element SWP Series

A waveplate with 12 axial-azimuth regions that can realize axis-oriented polarization simply by inserting it into the optical path. It converts linear polarization into radial (radial) or concentric (azimuthal) polarization. The high transmittance achieves a conversion efficiency of almost 100%. It is effective in optical tweezers, laser processing, etc.
