High-precision Beamsplitters Sep 14, 2007

Agilent offers polarizing, non-polarizing and wavelength beamsplitters in multiple geometries to fit a wide variety of application requirements. Agilent beamsplitters offer highly accurate beam control for demanding applications.

All Agilent beamsplitters offer near-distortionless beam splitting with the option for parallel or orthogonal output. They provide exceptional eighth-wave to tenth-wave TWD in both output beams. Agilent’s displacement beamsplitters accurately split an input beam into two or more displaced output beams with industry-leading parallelism, accurate to 25 arcseconds. The company’s cube beamsplitters are designed to accurately separate an input beam into two beams exiting at a 90-degree angle to each other. And, Agilent’s plate beamsplitters offer compact size and low thermal mass with lower wavefront distortion and arcsecond wedge tolerance that ensures a precise 90-degree separation between the output beams. In addition, Agilent’s polarization beamsplitters offer unique performance with a 1,000:1 contrast ratio in both transmitted and reflected beams.
For more than 35 years, Agilent has developed and manufactured optical components, monolithic assemblies and complex optomechanical assemblies for market-leading laser interferometry and nanomeasurement systems. Agilent combines experienced craftsmanship with deterministic manufacturing process control for volume production. The company now serves aerospace/defense and commercial markets with cutting-edge metrology and design, plus fabrication and thin-film coatings in a vertically integrated factory.
