Optical Beam Splitters are useful in interferometry, fiber optics, metrology, oceanography, seismology, chemistry, plasma physics, remote sensing, biomolecular interactions, surface profiling, micro fluidics, mechanical stress/strain measurement, and velocimetry .
Beam splitters consist of an optic coated with a multilayer dielectric film that splits the incoming energy into reflected and transmitted components in a defined way over a given wavelength region. Over wide wavelength regions, all beam splitters are polarizing to some extent, although plate beam splitters are less polarizing than cube beam splitters.
NTFL can design and deposit custom beam splitter coatings to customer specifications. If you are not sure how to specify your coating, our coating engineers will work with you to identify the best design for your needs.
