Wire Grid Polarizers by Coherent are based on advanced meta-optics wires (MOW) ™ technology and offer best-in-class extinction ratio and high transmission in the mid IR region. They are optimal for use in isolators in quantum cascade lasers and as a stand-alone component for beam polarization control. The device transmits signals polarized with electric field vector
perpendicular to the MOW and reflects those with orthogonal polarization with minimal absorptive losses.
