PIKE 10-Degree Transmission Accessory – Brewster’s Angle Analysis

A specialized transmission accessory designed for the analysis of thin films and coatings at a fixed 10-degree angle of incidence

Product Overview

The PIKE 10-Degree Transmission Accessory is designed for the study of anisotropic materials and thin films on transparent substrates. While most transmission measurements are taken at a normal (0-degree) incidence, certain applications—such as determining the orientation of polymer chains or studying the properties of semiconductors—benefit from a slight off-normal angle. This accessory provides a stable and repeatable 10-degree geometry for these experiments.By tilting the sample, researchers can minimize interference fringes (etaloning) in thin film spectra and gain access to different transition dipole moment orientations. The accessory is easy to use, fitting into a standard slide mount, and provides a clear aperture for high-quality spectral acquisition. It is a vital tool for advanced material characterization where sample orientation is a key variable
