Cube Beamsplitters suit 532 or 1064 nm Nd:YAG lasers.

Press Release Summary:




TECH SPEC(TM) High-Energy Polarizing Cube Beamsplitters handle laser-power densities up to 5 J/cm² and use multilayer dielectric film technology to minimize reflection and absorption losses. Units offer extinction ratio of > 500:1. Precision fused silica substrate and optical contact bonding prevents need for adhesive between prisms and improves parallelism of incoming and exiting beams. V-coat AR coating at design wavelength eliminates energy loss.



Original Press Release:



Optically Contacted Beamsplitter is Ideal for High Energy Laser Applications



25 April 2006 (Barrington, N.J.); Edmund Optics(TM) has introduced a precision-grade cube beamsplitter for high-power Nd:YAG Lasers. TECH SPEC(TM) High-Energy Polarizing Cube Beamsplitters use multilayer dielectric film technology to minimize reflection and absorption losses. The result is a beam splitter that puts maximum optical power where it's needed while handling high laser-power densities up to 5J/cm².

Designed specifically for high power laser applications at 532nm or 1064nm Yd:YAG Lasers, these beamsplitters feature a precision fused silica substrate and high-energy coatings. A unique optical contact bonding method eliminates the need for adhesive between the prisms, simultaneously improving the damage threshold of the beamsplitter and parallelism of incoming and exiting beams. A V-coat AR coating at the design wavelength virtually eliminates energy loss. The beamsplitters are an excellent complement to Edmund's full suite of laser optics and accessories, and can be easily integrated into applications with our precision positioning equipment.

General Specifications:
o Designed for 532nm or 1064nm Nd:YAG Lasers
o Damage Threshold Tested for 5J/cm2, 8ns pulses
o Extinction Ratio > 500:1
