Rochon Polarizers

Materials: a-BBO, YVO4, Quartz, or MgF2 crystal.
Optically cemented structure.
High extinction ratio ( > 100,000:1 ) 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.
