Polymer polarizers and retarders, consisting of sheets of polyvinyl alcohol and TAC cellulose triacetate, alter the polarization of light.

Polarizers are used in a wide range of imaging and research and development applications.

Beam Shaping for High Power and Short Pulse Durations

Beam Conditioning Optics for UV, IR, and Broadband Lasers

Highly reflective (HR) coatings are applied to optical components to minimize losses when reflecting lasers and other light sources.

Watch how LZH uses the Cailabs Canunda Reflective Axicons to improve the efficiency and quality of glass cutting by generating high-power Bessel beams.

Polarizers are optical components designed to filter, modify, or analyze the various polarization states of light.
