List of Polarizing Elements
Short delivery time with stock sales! All items available for sale from just one piece.
Edmund Optics offers a wide range of polarizing elements, including dichroic, crystal, and wire grid types. Dichroic polarizers have an excellent price-to-performance ratio and include options with large apertures. Crystal-type polarizing elements are ideal for laser applications due to their high extinction ratio and damage threshold. Wire grid polarizers, suitable for broadband applications, utilize a fine wire mesh that selectively transmits p-polarized light while reflecting s-polarized light. S-polarized light has a vibration direction that is perpendicular to the plane of incidence, while p-polarized light is oriented parallel to that plane. Edmund Optics also offers a wide range of zero-order and multi-order wave plates, as well as specialized polarizing rotators and Fresnel rhomb wave plates.

basic information
Polarizing elements are used in imaging applications to reduce glare and hotspots, improve contrast, and evaluate distortion. Polarizing elements can be used to measure changes in magnetic fields, temperature, molecular structure, chemical interactions, or acoustic vibrations. Polarizing elements transmit specific polarization states while blocking all other states. Polarized light can be in the state of linear, circular, or elliptical polarization.
