The LPUV, LPVIS, LPNIR, and LPMIR Linear Polarizer Series are and a dramatically better extinction ratio. With the exception of
a better alternative to conventional polymer-based polarizers because the LPMIR series, the sodium-silicate glass is sandwiched between
index-matched glass substrates, and a line is marked on the edge
ellipsoid silver nanoparticles embedded in sodium-silicate glass
of the polarizer to indicate the polarization axis.
are used to generate the polarizing effect. Although both polarizer
types absorb the light polarized perpendicular to the transmission
Our linear glass polarizers are available in two sizes, Ø12.5 mm and
axis, the nanoparticles have a significantly higher damage
threshold
Ø25.0 mm, and can be cleaned
with Series
standard
solvents for optics.

Thorlabs now offers the high-power Linear
Polarizer Series in versatile SM05 (0.535"-40)
or SM1 (1.035"-40) mounts. The mounts are
engraved with the part number, wavelength
range, and have a mark on the side and front
to show the transmission axis. The polarizer
can be removed from the mount by removing
the threaded retaining ring. The internal and
external SM05 or SM1 threads allow the
mounted linear polarizers to be easily integrated
with any of Thorlabs’ optomechanics.
