Depolarization-compensating waveplate

Depolarization Compensator compensates depolarization in the gain medium. It’s a new solution to solve the depolarization loss issue – a depolarization compensator. It is a spatially variable wave plate (SVWP), fabricated knowing the level of depolarization, its origin, and amplified laser beam parameters. Depolarization Compensators delivery in 2-4 weeks. Technical Features: No absorption Very low scattering Custom and continuous point by point patterns Maximum power extraction possibility without additional beam quality degradation Flexibility to compensate different amounts of depolarization by stacking more than one element Saves space, easy to handle and significantly lower price Suitable for high LIDT applications and high-power lasers (63.4 J/cm² @ 1064 nm, 10 ns and 2.2 J/cm² @ 1030 nm, 212 fs) High > 93% transmission @ 1030 nm (with AR coatings transmission > 99%) Reliable and resistant surface – the structure is inside the bulk Large structured aperture possible – up to 15 mm (standard substrate size Ø 25.4 x 6 mm)
