N-BK7, operating wavelength 700 nm-1700 nm, clear aperture Ø21.5 mm, key spec >1000: 1 (600-1500 nm); >3000: 1 (1500-2000 nm).
Overview
LBTEK Double Linear Polarizer Variable Attenuators consist of two thin-film linear polarizers in series, providing continuous attenuation control by rotating one polarizer relative to the other. Designed for low-power continuous brightness reduction across visible (400-700 nm) and NIR (700-1700 nm) ranges. Includes two economical thin-film linear polarizers in a compact assembly.
