Product Case Studies

Brewster Window is a special optical component designed to allow light of a specific polarization state to pass through at a specific angle (Brewster angle) without reflection loss. Brewster’s angle is the angle at which light is incident from one medium to another, transmitting only polarized light without any reflection loss. This type of window is widely used in laser design, especially in gas lasers and certain types of solid-state lasers, to reduce losses within the laser resonant cavity.

Characteristics and advantages of Brewster window panels

• High transmittance：At the Brewster angle, light of a specific polarization state can fully pass through the window plate with almost no reflection loss, which is crucial for improving laser efficiency.
• polarization selectivity：Brewster window plates naturally only transmit light in specific polarization directions, making them an effective way to achieve laser polarization control.
• Reduce reflection loss：By utilizing the Brewster angle, reflection losses in optical systems can be significantly reduced, especially in laser resonators.

application area

• Laser Design：Brewster window is an essential component in many types of lasers, especially in laser systems that require high efficiency and specific polarization output.
• Optical experiments and research：In optical experiments, Brewster window plates can be used to study and control the properties of polarized light.
• optical instrument：在需要高精度偏振控制的光学仪器中，布鲁斯特窗口片可以用来提高测量的精度和效率。

design and manufacture

The design of Brewster window requires a very precise determination of Brewster angle, which depends on the refractive index of the window material. Common materials include quartz, sapphire, etc. These materials not only have good optical properties, but also high thermal and chemical stability. Accurate angle machining and high-quality surface polishing are crucial for achieving high-performance Brewster window panels during the manufacturing process.
