Description

Mechanical Polarization Switch, the broadband high power polarization rotator

The device is based on the principle of the simple polarization rotating periscope. Using a flip mirror and 90^o rotation of the device, the polarization and the orientation direction of the beam profile of almost any type of laser can be changed by 90^o without affecting the optical path length. The standard 1”-diameter mirrors are replaceable to adapt to different wavelength ranges and wavelength discrimination can be achieved using dichroic optics.

Specifications

^{1): Larger beam diameters available upon request.
2): Depends on the mirror set.}
