Taylor Glan prism
Optosigma Corporation
* Available in both symmetrical and asymmetrical output configurations
* High extinction ratio of 5x10-5
* Conveniently mounted in a metal cell
* Ideal for medium power applications requiring high performance
* Suitable for Ultra-Violet applications
These prisms are used in medium power applications requiring high transmission and a high degree of polarization purity. Like the Glan laser prisms they are air-spaced to minimize absorption losses. The two prism sections are mounted in absorbing black glass within the cell. Two types are offered -- single and double. The single version is the simplest but the double version gives a perfectly symmetrical polarization field at the expense of a slight increase in Ultra-Violet absorption.
