Birefringent Crystals

Birefringent crystals has a property that the refractive index depends on the polarization direction of transmitted light, for this special properties, Birefringent crystals are often used to make polarizing optics such as: waveplates or retarders, polarizers and prisms. 

Hangzhou Shalom EO offers variety of birefringent crystals, includes: YVO4, LiNbO3, Quartz, Calcite, MgF2 and alpha-BBO crystals. The crystals ingot, blanks and polished and coated crystals are available.
