What are Beamsplitters?

Beamsplitters are often classified according to their construction: cube or plate (Table 1). Cube beamsplitters are constructed using two typically right angle prisms (Figure 1). The hypotenuse

In its most common form, a cube, a beam splitter is made from two triangular glass prisms which are glued together at their base using polyester, epoxy, or urethane-based adhesives. (Before these synthetic resins, natural ones were used, e.g. Canada balsam.) The thickness of the resin layer is adjusted such that (for a certain wavelength) half of the light incident through one "port" (i.e., face of the cube) is reflected and th

Large beam size, multi mirror optical set up with small power light source and supports high power laser light splitting. Polarization at 45 degree (AOI) or circle polarization light with no power loss detected.

How to Select a Beamsplitter

Beamsplitters are used in laser systems, optical interferometry, fluorescence, and biomedical instrumentation. They come in three basic forms: plate, pellicle, and cube. All are made using a
