Polarization Rotators

A Polarization Rotator is a device used to rapidly rotate the state of a linearly polarized light source. Polarization Rotators are typically used to route beams through complex optical systems when coupled with polarizing beam splitters.

Boulder Nonlinear Systems manufactures and sells liquid crystal based Polarization Rotators on a custom designed basis for applications requiring active timing control of linearly polarized light source. Key features of our various Polarization Rotators include high-speed binary operation, high resolution analog operation, high purity linear polarized output, high transmission, and large rotation ranges. Since these devices are solid state – undesirable mechanical motion, associated noise, and vibration problems are eliminated.

Boulder Nonlinear Systems offers three different technologies for active control of polarization rotation. Detailed information can be found by contacting Boulder Nonlinear Systems.
