Beam Splitters

Beamsplitters (or BS) separate an incident beam of light into its two normal components. These devices come in many forms: plates, cubes, pentagons, hexagons. Based on the desired optical characteristics, these devices can come with dielectric or metal coatings.
Non-polarizing, Broadband, Normal Incidence, 45 Degree Visible, Wide Band neutral, Broadband Hybrid cubes.

While “cemented” BS are a commodity, we can supply high damage threshold, optically contacted/fused polarized cubes. Typically used in high power applications, these PBS cubes are thermally stable and the strong optical bond allows processing even after assembly; meaning, they can be cut, polished and coated. Our PBS cubes are made from of BK7 and FS.
