The photoelastic modulator provides unparalleled sensitivity in both polarization generation and polarization measurements. However, many non-PEM components in most polarization experiments can adversely affect your results. Proper selection of detectors, demodulators, light sources, and polarizers is crucial to obtaining the quality results that the PEM makes possible.
EQUIPMENT BUNDLES
The photoelastic modulator (PEM) offers exceptional sensitivity for generating and measuring polarization. However, many components outside of the PEM in polarization experiments can negatively impact your findings. Selecting the right detectors, demodulators, light sources, and polarizers is essential for achieving the high-quality results that the PEM enables.
Hinds Instruments will leverage our expertise in polarization measurements to assist you in choosing the appropriate components tailored to your specific application and experimental needs. We will collaborate with you to comprehend your experimental objectives and help you realize them by providing a comprehensive solution that includes a photoelastic modulator along with the necessary instrumentation.
KIT: MOKE
Photoelastic Modulators offer a highly sensitive method for generating polarization states for Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect (MOKE) measurements in the DUV, visible, and IR spectrums. PEMs can also be used very effectively to analyze the polarization states of light after it has reflected off of the sample. The optimal selection of detectors, polarizers, PEM options, and demodulators is critical to detecting the small levels of polarization change that can occur. Hinds Instruments can help you assemble the necessary research grade equipment that will optimize your results.
MOKE Solution Packages can include:
- PEM
- Photodiode or APD Detector
- Laser or other light source
- Lock-in Amplifier or Waveform capture card demodulation
- Polarizers and mounts
- Anti-reflection coatings
KIT: Ellipsometry
Photoelastic Modulators are frequently employed in ellipsometry applications and used in either the polarization state generation arm, the polarization state analyzing arm, or both, depending on the specific Mueller Matrix elements that need to be identified. An ellipsometer that uses two PEMs is capable of measuring all 16 Mueller Matrix elements, including the 4 anisotropic measurements. PEMs can be used at DUV, visible, and NIR wavelengths.
The correct selection of detectors, polarizers, PEM options, and demodulators is critical to detecting the small levels of ellipsometric polarization change that can occur. Hinds Instruments can help you assemble the necessary equipment that will optimize your results.
Ellipsometric Solution Packages can include:
- One or Two PEMs
- Photodiode or PMT Detector
- Laser or other light source
- Lock-in Amplifier or Waveform capture card demodulation
- Polarizers
- Anti-reflection coatings
KIT: Circular Dichroism
Photoelastic modulation is the established, de facto standard for research grade measurement of circular dichroism. Photoelastic Modulators offer a highly sensitive and efficient way of generating both left and right circularly polarized light. The correct selection of detectors, polarizers, PEM options, and demodulators are critical to monitoring the small levels of polarization absorption that can occur. Hinds Instruments can help you assemble the necessary equipment that will optimize your results.
Circular Dichroism Solution Packages can include:
- PEM
- Detectors: Photodiode, PMT, or APDs
- Laser or other light source
- Lock-in Amplifier or Waveform capture card demodulation
