Beamsplitter

Beamsplitter


Beamsplitters are used to split or combine beam of light. The most common types are plate and cubes. Plates are used for most laser applications as they exhibit low absorption. Cubes are a convenient, protected form for low power applications. The performance of beamsplitters are mainly dependent on the coating specifications. In selecting beamsplitters, the type, coating, transmission range and damage threshold should be considered.
