Beamsplitters and Polarizing Beamsplitters
Product Information
Plano/Plano Beamsplitters are produced
by using interference coatings for adjusting the splitting ratio (mostly 50:50).
­­
Also polarizing Beamsplitters are used
to separate S and P polarization from a
laser source.
Applications
Beamsplitters can be used to split the
optical path in both directions or to
separate S and P polarization of the laser
beam in:
•t Diode laser
•t Gas laser
•t AG medical laser
Y
•t iode pumped Solid-State laser
D
Advantages
