Wire grid polarisers from Laser Components

Wire grid polarisers from Laser Components

Laser Components’ partner Dynasil Optometrics has developed a special holographic technique to produce infrared wire grid polarisers with sub-micron grid spacing. Using technology similar to that used to produce their range of holographic diffraction gratings, coherent laser beams are projected onto a photo-resist coated substrate to produce a precise pattern of equally spaced grooves.
