Wollaston Polarizers

Materials: Calcite, a-BBO, YVO4, or Quartz crystal.
Optically cemented structure.
High UV transmission down to 200nm.
High extinction ratio ( > 100,000:1 ) over an extremely
  large range of wavelength.
Large separation angle between the o- and e-rays.
Suitable for low power application.
