Quartz Rotators
Quartz Rotators rotate the plane
of linearly polarized light for
a beam that propagates along the
crystalline optic axis of quartz.
In this case, θ = 0°.
The amount of rotation depends on
the thickness of the rotator, and
is independent of the rotation of
the plate about the beam direction.
Standard Laser Optics Quartz Rotators
are mounted on 25 mm diameter rings
and have 16 mm clear apertures.
At least 95% of the light intensity
is rotated by 90° for all wavelengths
within the stated wavelength range.
All of these standard rotators have
a slight wedge in order to lessen
etalon effects.
