Technical FAQ
Configuration questions for Glan Polarizers
What wavelengths does the Glan Polarizers cover?
Wavelength Range: a-BBO: 220-3000nm; Calcite: 350-2300nm; YVO4: 500-4000nm. Check the specification at your angle of incidence. Coating bands and grating efficiency curves are quoted at a reference angle, and both shift as that angle changes.
How much optical power can the Glan Polarizers take?
Damage Threshold: > 10 MW/cm². Damage thresholds are quoted for a pulse duration, wavelength and beam diameter. Scale them to your own conditions rather than reading the headline figure as a rating.
What is the Glan Polarizers made from?
Material: a-BBO, Calcite, YVO4 · Surface Quality: 20/10 scratch and dig. Substrate and coating decide thermal behaviour and cleaning method as much as optical performance. Confirm both before the optic enters a high-average-power or vacuum path.
