Thickness poling: electrodes on the top and bottom faces, polarization through the thicknessPThicknessThe part is poled through the thickness and electroded on the positive and negative surfaces. Available for all part shapes.
Shear poling: electrodes on the top and bottom faces, polarization along the lengthPShearThe polarization direction is perpendicular to the electroded surfaces. Commonly supplied as plates and rings; offers increased sensitivity and minimises the pyroelectric effect.
Radial poling: electrodes on the inner and outer walls of a tube, polarization outward from the boreRadialOffered on tubes and rings, including tubes with a wrap-around electrode.
