APPLICATION NOTES


POLARIZATION:

In general, at angles greater than fifteen degrees, coated or uncoated pellicles will transmit more P polarized light than S polarized light: the coated or uncoated pellicle will reflect more S polarized light; than P polarized light. Pellicles, with or without coatings, can be manufactured to meet specifications for a given state of polarization.

SAMPLE CURVES

NPX9 50/50 @6328Å for Helium Neon Lasers

NPZ 33/67 for the visible and near IR region (R/T available from 10/90 to 33/67)

INTERFERENCE EFFECTS:

Sinusoidal thin film interference effects are shown on the transmission scans on this page. These effects can be used to maximize the transmission or reflection of the pellicle for specific wavelengths and incident angles.
