Thin film polarizers are based on interference within a dielectric optical thin-film coating on a thin glass substrate. They are made from composed materials which include a polarizing film, an inner protective film, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and an outer protective film. Thin film polarizers are used for polarization separation, that's to say to change un-polarized beam into linear polarized beam.

Polarization optics is important for both intra and extra cavity use. By using high contrast thin film polarizers in their design, laser engineers can save weight and volume within the laser system without influencing the output. Compared with polarizing prisms, polarizers have larger incident angle and can be made with larger apertures. Compared with polarizers made from birefringent crystals, the advantage of thin film polarizers made from UVFS or N-BK7 is that they can be fabricated in very large sizes, therefore are particularly well suited for high laser powers and UV wavelengths.

Polarization is an important characteristic of light. Polarizers are key optical elements for controlling your polarization, transmitting a desired polarization state while reflecting, absorbing or deviating the rest. There is a wide variety of polarizer designs, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Polarizer is a kind of optical filter where the light transmission depends strongly on the polarization state. Normally, light with linear polarization in a certain direction is passed, and light polarized in an orthogonal direction is either absorbed or propagated to a different direction.For other directions of linear polarization with an angle θ against the“passing”direction, the transmission exhibits a cos2 θ dependence. That can be understood by considering that linear polarization state as a linear superposition of the "passing”and the“blocked”state.Most polarizers act

Front surface mirrors are coated with aluminum or dielectrics for maximum reflection. WISOPTIC provides both kinds of front surface mirrors: metal coated mirror and dielectric coated mirror.Dielectric mirror is an optical mirror made of thin layers of dielectric coating layers deposited on an optical substrate (UVFS or BK7).  Dielectric laser mirrors are used for laser lines, for narrowband or broadband wavelength ranges covering spectrum from UV to IR. Metallic mirrors are coated with protected gold, silver, or aluminum.

When classified by coatings, Optical Mirrors consist of dielectric mirrors and metallic mirrors. Dielectric mirror is an optical mirror made of thin layers of dielectric coating layers deposited on an optical substrate (UVFS or BK7). WISOPTIC offer dielectric laser mirrors for laser lines, for narrowband or broadband wavelength ranges covering spectrum from UV to IR. Metallic mirrors are coated with protected gold, silver, or aluminum. Metallic mirrors are widely used due to a moderate level of reflection over a very broad spectral range.

Beta-Barium Borate (β-BBO) is an excellent nonlinear crystal with combination of a number of unique features: wide transparency region, broad phase-matching range, large nonlinear coefficient, high damage threshold, and excellent optical homogeneity. Therefore, β-BBO provides an attractive solution for various nonlinear optical applications such as OPA, OPCPA, OPO etc.β-BBO also has advantages of large thermal acceptance bandwidth, high damage threshold and small absorption, thus is very suitable for frequency conversion of high peak or average power laser radiation, e.g.

BBO features good optical transparency from around 200nm to over 2µm, offers a high resistance to optical damage with power handling >3GW/cm2 for 1ns pulses at 1064nm. It is possible to use BBO Pockels cells at average power levels of hundreds of watts and power densities of several kW/cm2. In addition, BBO Q-switches have very low levels of piezo-electric resonances.

BBO is an effective NLO crystal for the SHG, THG, or FHG of Nd:YAG lasers, and the first-rate NLO crystal for the FHG at 213nm. Conversion efficiencies of more than 70% for SHG, 60% for THG and 50% for 4HG, and 200mw output at 213 nm (5HG) have been obtained through using Wisoptic's BBO, respectively.BBO is also an efficient crystal for the intracavity SHG of excessive energy Nd:YAG lasers. for the intracavity SHG of an acousto-optic Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, greater than 15 w average power at 532 nm generated via an AR-coated BBO crystal produced by Wisoptic.

A prism, in optics, is a piece of glass or other transparent object surrounded by two planes that intersect but are not parallel to each other. The most important parameters of a prism are the angle and material.  Prisms are capable to redirect light at a designated angle or adjust the orientation of an image. Therefore prism is useful for in certain spectroscopes, instruments for analyzing light and for determining the identity and structure of materials that emit or absorb light. An optical prism’s design determines how light interacts with it.

Right angle prisms are generally used to bend image paths or redirect light at 90°. This produces a left handed image and depending on the orientation of the prism, the image may be inverted or reverted.

A corner cube (or cube corner), also known as a retroreflector, is an optical component with the unique ability to return an incoming beam of light directly towards its point of origin regardless of the beam's angle of entry. This property makes this prism type ideal for a wide variety of applications, such as laser resonator cavities, land surveying, ground based range-finding, satellite communications and space vehicle docking.Wisoptic offer a wide variety of retroreflectors at competitive prices and lead times, and are able to accommodate the most demanding requirements.

Wisoptic' standard and precision quality laser windows are fabricated from a variety of substrate materials, e.g.  UVFS and N-BK7.

Also we offer uncoated rectangular windows with aperture from 15 x 20 to 50.8 x 50.8 mm and thickness from 2 to 10 mm.

Lithium Niobate (LiNbO3) is widely used  in fiber communication devices as birefringent crystal and used as electro-optic modulator and Q-switch for Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF and Ti:Sapphire lasers. It has good mechanical and physical properties and is ideal for optical polarizing components due to its wide transparency range and low cost. LiNbO3's applications for fiber communication include isolators, circulators, beam displacers, and other polarizing optics. The transverse modulation is mostly employed for LiNbO3 crystal.

Lithium  Niobate (LN) crystal has excellent electro-optic, acousto-optic,  piezoelectric and nonlinear properties. More and more attention has been paid on its application in military technology. LN crystal has large nonlinear optical coefficient and can easily achieve non-critical phase matching. As an E-O material, LN crystal has been used as an important optical waveguide material.

Gray Track Resistant (GTR) KTP crystals developed by hydrothermal method overcomes the common phenomenon of electrochromism of the flux-grown KTP, thus has many advantages such as high electrical resistivity, low insertion loss, low half-wave voltage, high laser damage threshold, and wide transmission band. So it's very suitable for high power density applications, where regular flux-grown KTP crystals will suffer from gray track damage.GTR-KTP crystal has gray track resistance sufficiently greater than typical flux-grown KTP.
