Polarizer and Retardation Products for Optical Applications
Linear polarizer films for visible-range light control, contrast enhancement and optical inspection. Circular polarizer films for systems that require handed circular polarization or reflection-related optical control. NIR and wire-grid (discontinued) polarizers for near-infrared imaging, sensor systems and specialized industrial optics.
Retardation and waveplate films are available for phase control, polarization experiments and optical system integration. Polarizing glass provides higher durability for applications such as projector optics and high-stability optical setups. Selection should be based on wavelength, size, adhesive requirement, optical performance and usage environment.

Notes
- *1 Heat / weather resistance is a five-level relative rating, not an absolute guarantee. Level 3 indicates a standard commercial resin film level.
- *2 Adhesive-backed polarizer films should be applied to suitable glass or cast acrylic substrates under appropriate lamination conditions to avoid optical performance issues.
- *3 Circular polarizer film has front and back sides. The retardation-film side and light-source direction must be checked according to the optical layout.
