| ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Glan Thomson Polarizers | Glan Thomson polarizer is useful for moderate power, visible wavelength applications. They have high extinction ratios, <10-5, and wide acceptance angles. | ||
| Glan Taylor Polarizers | Glan Taylor polarizers have large extinction ratios, and are ideal where the rejected beam is not required. | ||
| Glan Laser Polarizers | Glan Laser polarizers are a form of Glan Taylor polarizers that are intended for use with high power beams. | ||
| Wollaston | Wollaston provides a simple way to split a beam of light into two mutually orthogonal, linearly polarized beams, convenient for double imaging of a single source. | ||
| Other | Any other calcite polarizers. | ||

| |||
| Extinction Ratio: | Excitation ratio refers to the ratio of the power of a plane-polarized beam that is transmitted through a polarizer placed in its path with its polarizing axis parallel to the beam's plane, as compared with the transmitted power when the polarizer's axis is perpendicular to the beam's plane. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Transmittance: | Transmittance is the ratio of the radiant power transmitted by a polarizer to the incident radiant power. | ||

| |||
| Diameter: | The diameter of the depolarizer when viewed straight on. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Clear Aperture | This is the clear aperture of retardation plates. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
