Output couplers and beam splitters have a special coating to reflect a defined percentage of the incident light.
Output couplers and beam splitters have a special coating to reflect a defined percentage of the incident light and transmit the remaining part. The reverse side is generally AR coated at 10.6 µm.
Specifications:
Output couplers are available in both planar and curved form.
Beam splitters are typically used at an angle of 45° and optimized for each polarization.
Beam combiners are used at an angle of 45° to add pilot beams to the beam path. They offer a maximum reflection for typical wavelengths in the visible range and simultaneously a maximum transmission at 10.6 µm.
Please note the special safety instructions when handling these optical components.
