Laminated Sheet Linear Polarizers
Laminated Sheet Linear Polarizers
Our general-purpose sheet polarizers are perfect for those in-between times when you need a polarizer with a large aperture and acceptance angle, but you don’t need the high extinction ratio or the expense of a calcite polarizer.
- Great value for low power 450-750 nm applications
- 4000:1 extinction ratio
- Large clear aperture See All Features

Features
Black Anodized Aluminum Housing
The polarizer assembly is mounted in a black anodized aluminum housing for protection, with the transmission axis clearly marked. The standard one inch diameter makes mounting easy into any Newport rotation stage such as the RSP-1T or the 481-A.
4000:1 Extinction Ratio
The laminated structure of these polarizers makes them durable and perfect for low-power 450-750 nm applications. Transmission through two Model 5511 polarizers is shown as a function of wavelength.
