Photonic Lattice Inc, a startup company in Japan specializing in the design and fabrication of specialized photonic crystal elements, is happy to announce a product range of 5 optical elements for polarization control. The elements are for use with Nd:YAG lasers at 1064nm, and make it possible to produce radially and azimuthally polarized beams. Such beams have been shown to be better suited to microvia creation than either linear or circular polarizations. Additionally radial and azimuthal polarization are finding application in areas including lithography, data recording/retrieval and optical trapping.

The product range of 5 elements consists of a segmented wave plate capable of producing either radially or azimuthally polarized output, and output couplers and polarizers for radial and azimuthal polarizations. Please refer to the axisymmetric elements web page for further details.

Because the elements are fabricated as photonic crystals, operating wavelengths and specifications other than those of the standard product line can be accommodated. In addition elements have a very high degree of stability, excellent aging properties, high temperature tolerance and can withstand high optical fluences.
