Introduction to Beam Splitter Cube
Beam splitter cube plays a very important role in splitting and combining beams. This optical element is composed of two right-angle prisms and can be divided into polarization splitter cube and non-polarization beam splitter cube according to polarization performance.
Types of Beam Splitter Cubes
Polarization Beam Splitter Cube
1. Function: As the name suggests, it can split non-polarized light into two orthogonal polarizations, which can transmit the transmitted p component and reflect the s component at the same time.
2. Construction: Dielectric coating is used at the interface.
3. Application: Since there is no metal in the coating, it is very suitable for high-power laser applications, thereby increasing the damage threshold.
Non-Polarization Beam Splitter Cube
1. Function: Split light according to a specified ratio without changing the polarization state of the light.
2. Construction: Adopts hybrid metal-dielectric coating.
3. Application: Suitable for low-power to medium-power applications, in which maintaining the initial polarization state is critical.
How Beamer Cubes Work
Polarizing Beamsplitter Cubes: Dielectric coatings at the interface split unpolarized light into s and p components, blocking the s component and allowing the p component to pass, resulting in pure polarized light.
Non-Polarizing Beamsplitter Cubes: Hybrid metal-dielectric coatings at the hypotenuse filter light according to a specified ratio, ensuring the original polarization state is preserved.
Optically Contacted Construction: Prisms are bonded together; suitable for general use, but with a lower damage threshold due to the adhesive.
Optically Contacted Construction: Prisms are attached without adhesive, providing higher laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) and lower scattering losses, making them ideal for high-power applications.
Customization and Range
Spectral Range: Options available for UV, VIS, and IR wavelengths.
