Hinds Instruments is the world's leading developer of technologies based on the principles of polarization modulation. Photoelastic modulators (PEMs) are key components in a diverse range of photonics applications. As such, Hinds has become a key contributor to a wide range of critical polarization-based measurements.
Learn about the Principles of Operation, and Unique Features, and Modes of Operation of our photoelastic modulators, here.
PEMs are made of isotropic optical materials and operate at a resonant frequency. Unique properties of the PEM include:
•polarization purity
•large aperture
•high power handling capability - up to 5 GW/cm2 for some devices
•large acceptance angle
•wide range of products for different spectral regions, from vacuum UV to Terahertz
•retardation stability
