Product Overview
PIKE Nanowire Grid Polarizers represent the pinnacle of polarization technology for Mid-IR and Far-IR spectroscopy. Unlike traditional wire-grid polarizers, these utilize advanced lithographic techniques to create sub-wavelength wire spacings. This results in significantly higher extinction ratios and superior transmission efficiency, allowing researchers to perform ultra-sensitive orientation studies and surface characterizations.These polarizers are available on various substrates, including ZnSe, BaF2, and CaF2, ensuring compatibility across a wide range of wavelengths. They are particularly effective for Grazing Angle Specular Reflection (GIR) and studies of molecular alignment in polymer thin films. Their high durability and resistance to thermal shock make them a reliable choice for demanding research environments
