Polarizing Prism
Polarizing Prism is an optical device engineered using birefringent or multi-crystal structures that separate incident light into distinct polarization states. Common designs include Glan-type or Wollaston-type prisms, fabricated from high-quality optical crystals such as calcite or quartz. These prisms operate based on polarization-dependent refraction or total internal reflection principles. They are manufactured with high precision polishing and angular accuracy to ensure clean polarization separation and minimal optical loss. Applications include laser polarization control, microscopy, interferometry, and quantum optics systems.
