A low - cost , ultra - wide - range infrared I polarizer

چکیده
There is a shortage of convenient, low-cost, wide-range infrared polarizers. Only wire grid devices are available to cover the entire midand far-infrared region, several high-cost polarizers being needed to cover the full spectral range, with limited performance. It is shown that a 'pile-of-plates' polarizer suitable for use in Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometers can be constructed from semiconductor grade silicon (resistivity exceeding 10 z2 cm, n-type preferably float-zone silicon) which can be used from about 1.2 &m to above 250 pm. 'Optical grade' silicon is not reliably suitable for use in the far infrared. The polarizer is ideal for use with some lasers (He-Ne 1.52 or 3.39 p m lines, CO, HF. DF and diodes) but it is not suitable for carbon dioxide lasers of significant power.

An infrared polarizer consisting of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) gratings is designed with transmittance exceeding 85% and polarization extinction ratio (ER) higher than 70 dB in the wavelength range from 1.5 to 8 μm. Moreover, the polarizer retains excellent performance even when the incident angle increases to as large as 80°. The MIM gratings support magnetic polariton (MP) in the near-infrar...

A coatable polarizer with high performance is a perpetual goal because of its numerous advantages. Here, we demonstrate a photo-induced coatable polarizer with a dichroic ratio of more than 50, a contrast ratio of more than 300, and a thickness less than 500 nm. This polarizer offers a simple and economical technique to realize advanced displays with low cost, ultra-thin profile, flexible style...
متن کاملWire Grid Infrared Polarizer
A useful polarizer for the 6-y to 2 0-u region has been designed, fabricated, and tested. A microscopic wire grid was formed by ruling Irtran 2 (ZnS) or Irtran 4 (ZnSe) and evaporating aluminum preferentially on the groove tips. The average transmittance for the crossed polarizers in the 8-JA to 2 -u region was less than 1%. The degree of polarization was insensitive to a wide range of incidenc...
