Wire Grid Polarizers are useful for enhancing sensitivity in grazing angle measurements using specular reflectance accessories and for molecular orientation studies. Polarizers attenuate radiation from polarized lasers, polarize radiation from unpolarized lasers and can be used in pairs to both polarize and attenuate. ICL wire grid polarizers are available for wavelength ranges from 3µm to 15µm.

ICL's 25mm wire grid IR polarizers are available with 360º rotation stage holders that are mounted on 2" x 3" backplates.  These rotating mounts render the polarizer suitable for use in any FTIR or IR spectrophotometer simply by sliding the mount containing the polarizer into the instrument's standard 2" x 3" slide mount fixture.  The polarizer, which is itself permanently mounted in a black anodized aluminum ring, is easily inserted into and removed from the rotating holder without touching the face of the polarizer.  When ordered with a mount, polarizers can be installed in the mount prior to shipping on the customer's request.
