Broadband low power polarizers for UV, visible or near IR wavelengths Large Acceptance Angle High Polarization Purity Prisms made of α-BBO or YVO4 are available upon request Prisms with size greater than 10 mm are available on special request

Glan Thompson prism is birefringent polarization element which consists of two calcite prisms cemented together. Because of cement it has higher transmission than Glan Taylor type due to reduced reflection losses at the hypotenuse interface but limited useful UV spectral range. Transmitted extraordinary beam is used. Side faces are black painted to absorb rejected ordinary beam.
