Polarizers are designed to reduce specular glare by passing only the light polarized in the direction perpendicular to the reflected light (glare). They also help improve contrast, increase color saturation and detect imperfections in transparent materials. MidOpt Polarizing Filters can be easily and securely mounted to your lens and light source for maximum extinction or glare reduction.
POLARIZING FILTERS
Contrast ratio of up to 6500:1
Linear, circular and wire grid polarizers are available for VIS and NIR spectrums
Rotating mount with locking thumb screw to fine tune glare reduction
Exceptional surface quality: 40/20 scratch/dig
POLARIZING FILM
Achieves optimal glare reduction when placed over light source
Contrast ratios of up to 10000:1
Linear polarizers are available for VIS and NIR requirements
Left and right circular polarizers are available for VIS spectrum applications
Offered in high-temperature-resistant laminate and glass
PSA007 material comes standard with self-adhesive backing
MOUNT AND SIZE OPTIONS: Polarizing Filters and Films are in-stock and ready-to-ship. Polarizing Filters are available in threaded mounts, sizes M22.5 to M105;?slip mounts; or unmounted. Polarizing Films are available in multiple thicknesses and can be custom laser cut to t any light source with a maximum usable width of 16.5” and length up to 300’.
APPLICATIONS: Polarizers are commonly used to reduce glare from non-metallic in objects with smooth surfaces or surfaces covered with grease, oil or liquid. For best results, use an optical-grade Polarizer over the lens and Polarizing Film over the light source. The PR120/PG120 offers ultra-high contrast and an anti-reflection oleophobic coating.
