Digital polarimeter LSM-9100 series

opticalautomaticmultiple-wavelength

Product overview
Fully automatic 2D polarimeters LSM-9100W and LSM-9100WS perform pixel-by-pixel measurement of retardation and the slow-axis direction across the entire detection area using a built-in CCD. Measured 2D distributions are displayed and can be saved to a connected PC. A super-luminescent LED (high-luminance LED) provides long life and low power consumption.

Key features

• Fully automatic, area-based (pixel) measurement of retardation and slow-axis direction across the detection field.
• Removes operator-dependent variability of visual methods and is not limited to a single small measurement spot.
• LSM-9100W: measurement area diameter ⌀150 mm for large samples.
• LSM-9100WS: built-in 6× zoom lens for optical magnification and accurate measurement of small samples.
• Measurement method: RGB Linear Polarization Method.
• Measurement wavelength range: 420–680 nm.
• High-luminance (super-luminescent) LED light source for reduced maintenance and lower operating cost.

Applications / advantages

• Quantitative mapping of retardation and slow-axis direction for immediate visual assessment of birefringence and strain distribution.
• Improves measurement reproducibility versus subjective visual techniques.
• Suitable for area mapping and 2D visualization of birefringence in transparent materials, process control, and research applications.
