10 x 10mm Aperture, Quartz Lyot Depolarizer

Product Details Lyot Depolarizers are not suitable for monochromatic light. Turn Polarized Light into Non-Polarized (Unpolarized) Light Designed for Polychromatic Light UV to IR Wavelength Range Consisting of two quartz waveplates bonded together, Lyot Depolarizers are passive optical components that transform polarized or partially polarized light into non-polarized (unpolarized) light. The thickness ratio of the two waveplates is 2:1. They are positioned such that their optical axes are oriented 45° apart, creating various degrees of elliptically and linearly polarized light, and eliminating the polarization of the input beam. Note: Lyot Depolarizers are not suitable for monochromatic light. Lyot Depolarizers are designed for polychromatic light from 200 – 2300nm. Each Lyot Depolarizer features a minimum wavelength bandwidth of 50nm, which represents approximately 85% depolarization. A bandwidth of greater than 100nm is required for complete depolarization.
