Polarizer Selection Guide
Why Choose Meadowlark Polarizers?
Wide Range of Options – This selection chart provides an at-a-glance view of our standard polarizers broken down into Circular, Linear and Beam splitting categories.
Broad Wavelength Capabilities – Our standard polarizers are designed for use in the 220-nm to 6-micron range (with custom options up to 15 microns.)
High Quality and Precision – Meadowlark Optics is proud to continue providing our customers with industry-leading specifications including excellent surface quality, high extinction ratio, low transmitted wavefront distortion, and more.
Custom Solutions – Prism clusters, attached retarders, odd shapes and sizes – while we are delighted to provide you one of our standard components or systems, we are just as happy to customize a solution that more exactly fits your needs.
