Transmitting polarizers made of birefringent dielectrics can be used to within a few hundred angstroms, or less, of their cutoff wavelength.

Polarizers are important optical components to converts a beam of undefined or mixed polarization into a beam with well-defined linear polarization.

Wollaston Polarizers consist of two birefringent right angle prisms cemented together , such that their optical axes are perpendicular.

Materials: Calcite, α-BBO, Quartz, or YVO4 crystal. Typical structure: Optically cemented structure, Optically contacted (cement-free in the optical path) ...

A Wollaston prism splits a broadband input beam into two separately accessible beams with highly pure orthogonal linear polarizations.

The Wollaston polarizer is made of two birefringent crystal prisms glued together or optically glued . It can produce two beams of linearly polarized light.

Wollaston Polarizer : A Wollaston Prism is composed of two prisms with optical axes of each prism in the pair simultaneously perpendicular to one another and ...

Wollaston polarizer can separate an incident beam into two rays : extraordinary and ordinary ray with a deviation angle which is dependent on wavelength.
