| CVI announced today that it has introduced a 12mm clear aperture achromatic waveplate. The ABSO beamsplitter assembly utilizes an optically contacted PBSO polarizer cube and a QWPM multiple-order quartz half waveplate to achieve continuously variable transmission from 1-95% for both UV and high energy VIS-NIR lasers. This alternative to a Faraday isolator achieves up to 20dB passive isolation of linearly polarized light by combining an optically contacted laser line polarizer cube and a multiple-order quarter waveplate. |
