Beamsplitters are used to reflect a certain percentage of incident energy, while transmitting the remaining energy. In most cases, beamsplitters are angle, wavelength, and polarization sensitive.
Most beamsplitter coatings are highly polarization sensitive. Thus, if the source’s polarization state varies with time, as in some randomly polarized lasers, the beamsplitters transmission will also vary with time.
The beamsplitters described here are designed for use at 45° angle of incidence and 10.6µm wavelength. At this angle of incidence, there can be significant differences in the transmittance/reflectance values for s and p-polarizations. It is essential that the laser’s polarization state be specified when ordering these optics. (See our Polarization tutorial for definitions of s and p polarizations.)

PPC beamsplitter cubes are derived from a unique combination of IBS coatings, ultraprecise fabrication capabilities and our epoxy-free bonding technology--Chemically Activated Direct Bonding (CADB) which results in zero-bondline thicknesses. In addition to the standard sizes and wavelengths shown, we can produce high-energy cube beamsplitters from 1x1 mm2 in size, and in a wide variety of materials including fused silica, BK7, YAG and other optical glasses and crystals.
Whether you need 10 or 10,000 pieces, our precision wafer-based processes result in high yields and competitive costs, especially at higher volumes. These high-precision assemblies have been widely used in telecommunications, semi-conductor and biomedical applications where transmission efficiency, extinction ratio and wavefront quality are all critical specifications.
Call us for more information on high-energy narrowband and broadband polarizing beamsplitter cubes for other wavelengths from 266nm to 2200nm, or to discuss your requirements for custom waveplates, polarizers and micro-optic assemblies.

Thin Film Plate Polarizers and Dichroic Beamsplitters
Thin-film plate polarizers utilize our advanced ion-beam-sputtered (IBS) coating technology to achieve high-power performance and guaranteed transmission at a specific angle of incidence, with no angle tuning required. By combining durable dielectric coatings with fused silica substrates, we produce robust optical components that are stable, easy to align and exhibit high laser damage thresholds in both reflection and transmission.
High energy plate polarizers separate s and p polarizations with an extinction ratio (Tp/Ts) of greater than 750 to 1000:1 in the transmitted beam. Thus, they are ideal for intracavity or extracavity high-power applications where fluences are greater than 500 mJ/cm2 and calcite or cemented cube polarizers cannot be used.
Among the many diverse custom optical components that PPC offers are diode-pumped Nd:YAG resonator mirrors, 50/50 non-polarizing beamsplitters and thin-film plate polarizing beamsplitters. For all the optical components we provide, we use only ion-beam-sputtered (IBS) coatings. The IBS coating process is both accurate and repeatable, resulting in precision coatings that are easy to clean, chemically resistant and insensitive to moisture and other environmental factors.

Beamsplitters are designed to separate a single beam of light into two beams that are normal to one another. The intensity of the separated beams depends upon the type of coating and the specific properties of the light.
Most beamsplitters use dielectric coatings that are wavelength and polarization sensitive; therefore it is highly recommended that one look carefully at the transmission curves to ensure that the beamsplitter will perform as needed.
Cube beamsplitters with hybrid (dielectric/metal) coatings are relatively insensitive to changes over a broad range of polarization and wavelength, and our laser-line coatings are polarization insensitive at their design wavelength.

Dichroic Filters
UQG Dichroic coated filters are glass filters with thin films and dielectric thin films vacuum deposited on glass substrates. These include Dichroic Colour Filters and Dichroic beamsplitting colour separating mirrors. Both are similar but the Dichroic Beamsplitters are used at 45°.
Dichroic Colour Filters
UQG dichroic Colour Filters include addition and subtractive colour filters. Transmitting and reflecting certain regions of the visible spectrum. The filters are practically absorbtion free non fading and highly transmitting. The addive colour filters are available in red, green and blue, substantive colours yellow, magenta and cyan.
