Beamsplitter Plate
The common Beam splitters are used to split or combine laser beam. However Polarization Beamsplitters are used to split or combine two perpendicular polarization laser beam. The performance of beamsplitters is mainly dependent on the coating specifications.

For example, BSP1203 – 1500-1610,
Beamsplitter 10X10mm, 1500-1610 nm broadband coating.
Consists of a pair of precision high tolerance right angle prisms cemented together with a metallic-dielectric coating on the hypotenuse of one of the prisms. The low polarization dependence of the metallic-dielectric coating allows the transmission and reflection for S- and P- polarization states to be within 6% of each other. This means that they will not change the state of polarization of the incident beam.
We offer both broadband and single wavelength non-polarizing cube beamsplitters. An antireflective coating has beem applied to each face of the beamsplitter in order to produce maximum transmission efficiency for the appropriate wavelength range.
To select a suitable beamsplitter, you need to consider the type, coating, transmission range and damage threshold.
