Wide-Angle Broadband Plate Polarizer with 1D Photonic Crystal
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research, Vol. 88, 321-335, 2008
Abstract
Here a photonic crystal plate polarizer (with periodic air gaps), operating over a broad wavelength range extending from 1000nm to 1770nm and with a wide angular field of 16o measured in air, is suggested. The polarizer has an average degree of polarization equal to 0.9999, and a high extinction ratio (>8.308×104) in transmitted light. Since the plate polarizer does not require optical cements, it is most suitable for use with high power laser systems. It is also smaller in size as compared with multilayered cube polarizers.
