Oct 15, 2012 Designed for engraving, marking, and scribing lasers, CO2 Laser Beam Splitters facilitate power measurements and other dual uses by reflecting percentage of beam. Combining 10.6 µm and 0.633 µm wavelengths, Laser Beam Combiners permit alignment and focusing by providing visual light beam. Made from ZnSe with various coatings to achieve polarization states, splitters permit up to 50% transmission, ±3% of reflectance while combiners allow 98.7% light transmission. Both come in ¾–3 in. OD sizes.

Aug 04, 2008 Developed to work with laser-based tools in microscopy market, Multi-Wavelength Laser Combiner provides 19 wavelength options that can be used in 3- to 8-channel configurations. Combiner is based on complex monolithic optic design, which incorporates many individual optical components into one monolithic structure. Since optics are bonded into pre-aligned structure, they do not drift out of alignment due to vibration or fluctuations in ambient temperature.
