Wire-Grid Polarizers for Datacom and Telecom
Achieve superior polarization control for isolators, transceivers, beam splitters, and polarization diversity optics with these high-performance polarizers.
Coherent Wire Grid Polarizers use advanced meta-optics wires (MOW)™ technology to deliver outstanding extinction ratio and transmission across the telecom O band, enabling reliable, low-loss separation or reflection of orthogonal polarizations in compact optical designs.
Wire Grid Polarizer Capabilities
Define the wavelength range, extinction ratio, transmission performance, dimensions, and construction details to select the optimal wire grid polarizer for polarization control, isolation, or beam management in telecom and datacom applications.
