Abstract

An efficient polarizing device comprises a birefringent crystal, a half-wave plate (or 90 DEG optical rotator), a triangular prism and a K-shaped prism. The birefringent crystal divides the non-polarized incident beam into parallel beams which have a certain distance and mutually perpendicular polarization directions, one of the parallel beams passes through a half-wave plate (or a 90-degree optical rotator) to obtain two lines of polarized beams with the same polarization direction and transmission direction, and the distance between the prism and the prism of the K-shaped mirror is adjusted to realize the synthesis of the two polarized beams, thereby achieving the purpose of utilizing light energy to the maximum extent and realizing high polarization conversion efficiency. The invention has the characteristics of compact structure, convenient adjustment and high polarizing efficiency, has no influence on the divergence angle and the propagation direction of light beams, and is particularly suitable for the high-efficiency polarizing of non-polarized laser.
