Beam splitter for high-power applications

polarizingopticalcubic

Polarizing beamsplitter cubes offer several advantages over plate beamsplitters. They are easy to handle, high contrast and high-extinction-ratio polarizers that split a randomly polarized beam into two orthogonal, linearly polarized components. These products are typically used in laser-beam separation and combination, and optical-isolation applications. The epoxy-free construction of the cubes enables superior performance at high energy levels. Features: Easy, deformation-free mounting High extinction ratio in transmission: Tp/Ts > 1000:1 Low-reflected and transmitted wavefront distortion No ghost reflections Minimal beam displacement Negligible absorption of reflected and transmitted beams High transmission of p-polarization: Tp > 97% For collimated beams only Input and output surfaces are AR-coated for specified wavelengths Custom sizes are available on request Substrate material UVFS Wavelength range 343 – 2100 nm Surface quality, S-D 40-20, 20-10* Reflected and transmitted wavefront distortion, P-V <λ/8 @ 632.8 nm Beam deviation 1000:1 Transmission @ central wavelength Tp>97% Reflectance @ central wavelength Rs>99.5% LIDT Up to 20 J/cm2 @ 1064 nm, 10 ns, 100 Hz**
