Fiber Optic Beam Splitter

Our fiber based polarization beam combiners splitters are designed to split a beam into two beams with orthogonal polarization or combine two beams with orthogonal polarization into a single output.

Fiber optic beam splitter.

Fiber optic splitter also referred to as optical splitter or beam splitter is an integrated waveguide optical power distribution device that can split an incident light beam into two or more light beams and vice versa containing. The resultant output beams are then focusedback into the output fibers. In contrast our fiber optic couplers are designed to combine or split beams with various splitting ratios regardless of the polarization. A fiber optic splitter is a device that splits the fiber optic light into several parts by a certain ratio.

The optical network system uses an optical signal coupled to the branch distribution. For example when a beam of fiber optic light transmitted from a 1x4 equal ratio splitter it will be divided into 4 fiber optic light by equal ratio that is each beam is 1 4 or 25 of the original source one. The high pulsed power versions use high energy nd yag polarizing cube beam splitters and are designed to handle high energy pulses up to 2 j cm 2 at fixed wavelengths including 248 nm 266 nm 355 nm 405 nm 532 nm and 1064 nm. Light from an input fiber is first collimated then sent through a beamsplitting optic to divide it into two.

Thorlabs polarization maintaining fiber based polarization beam combiners pbc or splitters are designed to either combine two orthogonal polarizations into a single fiber or split a single input into its orthogonal linear polarizations through two fiber outputs. The va cb series is based on zero order half waveplates and polarizing cube beam splitters. Both 1xn and 2xn splitters can be constructed in thisfashion. A fiber optic splitter also known as a beam splitter is based on a quartz substrate of an integrated waveguide optical power distribution device similar to a coaxial cable transmission system.

The fiber optic splitter is one of the most important passive devices in the optical fiber link. In today s optical network topologies the advent of fiber optic splitter contributes to helping users maximize the performance of optical network circuits.
