Hinds Instruments introduces the latest and most advanced Mueller Matrix Polarimeter System for challenging research and industrial process applications requiring ultra-high sensitivity and repeatability in distinguishing specific, low-level Mueller Matrix elements.
The Magneto-Optic Kerr Effect (MOKE) is the study of the reflection of polarized light by a material sample subjected to a magnetic field.
MOKE is particularly important in the study of ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic films and materials.
Hinds Instruments is the world's leading developer of technologies based on the principles of polarization modulation. Photoelastic modulators (PEMs) are key components in a diverse range of photonics applications. As such, Hinds has become a key contributor to a wide range of critical polarization-based measurements.
Unique properties of the PEM
- polarization purity
- large aperture
- high power handling capability - up to 5 GW/cm2 for some devices
- large acceptance angle
- wide range of products for different spectral regions, from vacuum UV to Terahertz
- retardation stability
PolSNAP(TM) Applications:
