Rochon Polarizers

Materials: Calcite, a-BBO, YVO4, or Quartz crystal.
Optically cemented structure.
High extinction ratio ( > 10
-5 ) over an extremely large
  range of wavelength.

High UV transmission down to 200nm.
O-ray passes with no deviation.
Large separation angle between the o- and e-rays.
Suitable for low power application.
