colorPol® Laserline Nd:YAG – The new product for Nd:YAG laser applications

On the occasion of LASER 2007 in Munich CODIXX introduces its latest product, the colorPol® Laserline Nd:YAG - the new polarizer for Nd:YAG laser applications.

Since Nd:YAG lasers with or without frequency doubling or tripling are very common in industrial and laboratory applications, versatile optics for all of the 3 wavelengths 1064 nm, 532 nm and 355 nm are expedient. For this reason, CODIXX launches the new product colorPol® Laserline Nd:YAG BC4. This polarizer provides an extinction ratio of above 10,000:1 (40 dB) at all 3 wavelengths 1064 nm, 532 nm and 355 nm.

A very specialty is the polarization axis: The polarization for 532 nm is on par with 1064 nm, the polarization of 355 nm is exactly perpendicular. Despite this polarizer is an absorptive type, its high laser damage threshold of 10 W/cm² for continuous block allows the use for small and mid power applications. The colorPol® Laserline Nd:YAG BC4 is applicable as well for CW as for pulsed lasers.

Based on the colorPol® technology for the doping of sodium silicate glass with prolate silver nanoparticles the glass polarizers have special characteristics. High temperature stability up to + 400° C, resistance against rough environmental influences, against the most chemicals and UV radiation as well as fading and the simple manufacturing bar are only some examples for this. Smallest dimensions and arbitrary customized forms are available up to a maximum size of 100 x 60 mm². In addition, the filters are obtainable in standard versions with diameters of 12.5 mm, 25.0 mm as well as 0.5 inches and 1 inches, respectively. With this new product the CODIXX AG supplements its colorPol® family with a product that can be used both for the UV range and for the visible and infrared range.
