Linear Polarizers — Absorptive dichroic film polarizers covering UV through SWIR. All BVO linear polarizers are non-reflective — rejected polarization is absorbed, not reflected. Available as film stock, PSA, BK-7 glass laminated, or acrylic laminated components. Custom geometry to ±10–25 micron tolerances.
Achromatic Waveplates — Multi-layer fused polymer achromatic retarders. True zero order. ±0.01 waves tolerance, 99% transmittance. Available as glass-laminated components (25.4mm OD off-shelf) or free-standing film for OEM integration. Custom to 100mm OD.
