Glan-Thompson polarizer consists of two cemented prisms made from the highest optical grade Calcite or a-BBO. It offers the widest field of view of any other polarizers while maintaining a high extinction ratio. The standard form of this polarizer with 2.5:1 length to aperture (L/A) ratio has a full acceptance cone angle of more than 15° @ 589nm, symmetric about the input axis, whilst the long form with 3:1 ratio has a field angle of greater than 26°.
