The 10GT04AR.14 by Newport is a Glan-Thompson Calcite Polarizer designed to deliver exceptional linear polarization purity across a range of laser wavelengths and broadband sources. This polarizer is distinguished by its expansive acceptance angle, enabling its effective utilization with highly divergent or convergent laser beams. This polarizer selectively reflects and absorbs P-polarized light, directing it into the housing, while efficiently transmitting S-polarized light with a remarkable transmission rate exceeding 90% (Ts >90%). This polarizer is meticulously crafted from carefully chosen calcite prism pairs, securely cemented and assembled within a housing composed of durable black anodized aluminum. The housing of the 10GT04AR.14 is clearly marked with an indicator denoting the output polarization axis, simplifying alignment and integration into optical setups. Its design allows for seamless integration with compatible precision positioning components, rotary stages, and 25.4 mm optic holders. This polarizer also incorporates an advanced AR.14 visible broadband antireflection coating, optimized to minimize unwanted reflections and enhance optical performance within the 430 nm to 700 nm wavelength range.
