Large area polymer bandgap polarizers Narrow/Broadband UV-VIS-NIR-SWIR-MWIR
- Active layer: liquid crystal polymer films with chiral polymerizable dopant
- Active layer thickness: 30-50 μm
- Operating wavelengths: UV-Vis-IR-MWIR
- Bandwidth: 50-500 nm
- Absorption losses per stage: <4% (Vis –NIR)
- Clear aperture: >95%
- Contrast: 90-400 (depending on quality of input polarization)
