Edmund Optics (EO), a provider of optical components, introduces Wire Grid Polarizing Cube Beamsplitters. These beam splitters are designed for applications using uncollimated light (i.e., neither convergent nor divergent), including broadband white light sources.
Wire Grid Polarizing Cube Beamsplitters are constructed using a wire grid polariser cemented between two precision high-tolerance right-angle prisms made of an N-BK7 substrate. (“BK7” is the Schott Glass classification of a common borosilicate crown glass.) An anti-reflection (AR) coating is applied to each face of the beam splitter, which provides less than 0.5% average reflection per surface, according to the company. Further, these beam splitters maintain their spectral contrast from 400 nanometres (nm) to 700nm over a cone angle of +25°.
This product provides more than 75% transmission of P-polarised light and an efficiency variable angle contrast ratio performance times s-polarized reflectance (Tp*Rs) of more than 65% for a cone angle of +25°. These beam splitters are suitable for a variety of applications including heads-up displays, interferometry and spectroscopy.
The Wire Grid Polarizing Cube Beamsplitters are Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)-compliant and measure 25.4 square millimetres (mm2). They are in stock and available for immediate delivery.
