The yttrium orthovanadate (YVO4), a kind of crystal preferably grown with Czochralski method has good mechanical and physical properties. It has good temperature stability and physical and mechanical properties. It is ideal for optical polarizing components because of its wide transparency range and large birefringence. It is an excellent synthetic substitute for Calcite (CaCO3) and Rutile(TiO2) crystals in many applications including fiber optic isolators and circulators,
beam displacers, Glan polarizers and other polarizing optics, etc.
YVO4 crystal applications:
- Fiber-Optic Isolators,
- YVO4 Beam Displacer,
- Circulators,
- Glan Polarizer, etc.
