A Thin Film Polarizer (TFP) is a versatile optical component that finds application in various fields such as telecommunications, biomedical imaging, and analytical instrumentation. In the field of telecommunications, TFP polarizers are used to control the polarization of light in optical communication systems. By separating polarizations, TFP polarizers help to reduce signal loss in long … Continue reading
In the world of electronics, polarizers are crucial components that allow for efficient and high-quality displays. Thin Film Polarizers (TFPs), in particular, are widely used in LCD screens to enhance their brightness, contrast, and color accuracy. A TFP is a type of polarizing filter composed of multiple layers of thin film materials. By vibrating in … Continue reading
The Thin Film Polarizer (TFP) separates the s- and p-polarization components. They are designed for use in high energy laser applications. Due to a high damage threshold, TFPs are used as an alternative to Glan Laser Polarizers or Polarizing Beamsplitter Cubes. Advantages of Thin Film Polarizers in LCD Screens The TFP is a high-performance polarizer … Continue reading
Waveplates (retardation plates or phase shifters) are made of materials which exhibit birefringence. The velocities of the extraordinary and ordinary rays through the birefringent materials vary inversely with their refractive indices. The difference in velocities gives rise to a phase difference when the two beams recombine. At any specific wavelength the phase difference is governed … Continue reading
Optical element insulating glass has a special ability to absorb, transmit, and reflect light and heat. The use of this glass in exterior windows and glass curtain walls for buildings can achieve significant energy savings. Commonly used thermal insulation glass includes heat-absorbing glass, coated glass, and insulating glass. How does heat-absorbing glass work? Heat-absorbing glass … Continue reading
Although you may only clean your eyeglasses by simply wiping them with a cloth, that is not a suitable method to clean delicate, customized optical components. Optical manufacturers generally use ultrasonic cleaning, but many users do not have such sophisticated equipment. However, proper cleaning methods can improve the performance and longevity of your components. Handling … Continue reading
