POLARIZING NANO SPHEROIDS (PNS)

Integrated Photonics nano-engineered PNS POLARIZERS employ a patented oblique deposition process that results in a nano-structure of elongated silver POLARIZING NANO SPHEROIDS (PNS). These sub-wavelength particles preferentially transmit the component of the incident electric field that is linearly polarized in a direction perpendicular to the long axis of each particle. The orthogonal electric field component is resonantly rejected by virtue of accelerating conduction electrons contained within each microscopic particle. The low-temperature oblique deposition process allows for a great diversity of substrate selection. The polarizing action is restricted to the PNS layer may be as thin as 2mm. The substrate is used entirely for mechanical support.


PNS POLARIZERS HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED FROM PRODUCTION. INFORMATION ON LICENSING CAN BE EXPLORED BY CONTACTING THE COMPANY.
