title: Polarization dependence of absorption and laser induced surface damage thresholds in wire grid polarizers.
abstract: We report a theoretical and experimental study of the absorption of wire grid polarizers vs orientation and wavelength. Measurement of absorption and surface damage thresholds are in good agreement with the theory.
