Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Fabrication techniques of ultra-thin optical polarizing films using silver island films have been investigated for the near-infrared region. The polarizing films are fabricated by stretching the periodic multilayers consisting of silver island layers and glass layers. We have experimentally investigated the optimum fabricating conditions necessary to induce large optical anisotropy into the silver layers and have formed submicrometer-thick polarizing films with the extinction ratio of 35dB at the wavelength of 1.3μm. These polarizing films could be useful as micro-polarizers for fiber-embedded in-line optical devices, micro-optics, and hybrid integrated optics.
