NIR Linear Polarizers eliminate unwanted reflections.
Press Release Summary:
Fabricated using thin polymer film sandwiched between 2 flat pieces of B270 glass, TECHSPEC(TM) Polarizers provide uniform performance across broad spectral range, achieving extinction ratios from 40 dB at 830 nm to 50 dB at 1,310 and 1,550 nm. Average transmission is greater than 30% for wavelength range of 750-850 nm and 33% for wavelength range of 1,000-2,000 nm. Polarizers are suited for applications involving low-power NIR lasers, LEDs, and other NIR sources.
