A cubic beam splitter is formed by coating a film on the inclined surface of a right angled prism and then bonding the same right angled prism together. It can avoid the astigmatism of the flat beam splitter, and the coating is not directly exposed, making it less prone to damage and corrosion. Compared with a flat beam splitter, the reflection and transmission optical paths of a beam splitter are equal. When transmitting light, the beam splitter prism does not have the impact of light deviation, so there is no problem of beam translation, ghosting, or interference. Used for spectroscopy and imaging. No need for long-term calibration when incident at a 45 ° angle.
Maipu Optoelectronics offers a variety of plate type beam splitters: UV fused silica (250-1700 nm), IR fused silica (900-2600 nm), calcium fluoride (1-8 m), zinc selenide (1-14 m), covering the UV mir wavelength range.
UV fused silica beam splitter compensation plate can also be used.
We also provide beam splitters for Nd: YAG wavelengths (1064 nm and 532 nm)
A cube polarized beam splitter is a precision optical component that utilizes polarization effects to separate or combine light beams. This type of spectroscope typically consists of two right angled prisms, whose slopes are coated with a special polarizing film and then tightly bonded together to form a cube. When light is incident on a cube polarized beam splitter, light of different polarization states is separated into different directions, i.e. s-polarized light and p-polarized light propagate along different paths.
The working principle of a cube polarized beam splitter is based on the polarization characteristics of light. When unpolarized or mixed polarized light is incident on the surface of a beam splitter, s-polarized light (electric field vibration direction perpendicular to the incident surface) and p-polarized light (electric field vibration direction parallel to the incident surface) will be processed by polarizing films in different ways. Usually, one polarization state of light (such as s-polarized light) is directly transmitted through a polarizing film, while the other polarization state of light (such as p-polarized light) is reflected. In this way, the originally mixed beam is split into two beams of light with different polarization states.
