Polarization optical materials

Birefringent Crystals for Polarization Control and Precision Optics

ATR Crystal supplies birefringent crystals and drawing-defined optical components for polarization control, beam displacement, optical isolation and precision photonics. Material, crystal orientation, clear aperture, dimensions, surface quality, wavefront requirements and optical coating can be reviewed according to the system design.

What can be customized?

  • Crystal orientation and drawing-defined optical axis requirements
  • Custom dimensions, clear aperture and mechanical tolerances
  • Optical polishing, surface quality and wavefront specifications
  • AR coating and component preparation for polarization systems
