Where to Buy Beam Splitters

TOPTICA Photonics AG offers a wide range of optical fibers ideally suited for use with TOPTICAs lasers and FiberDock. These economically priced fibers cover a wide range of wavelengths. TOPTICA recommends to always purchase a fiber along with a laser and fiber coupler, as this ensures maximum fiber coupling efficiency. Also specialty fibers for power monitoring, beam splitting or combining are available with various ratios and also polarization maintaining.

Our Femtoline beam splitters are designed for use in femtosecond laser applications with fundamental wavelengths of Ti:sapphire and Yb:KGW/KYW lasers and their harmonics. Nd:YAG LaserLine beam splitters are designed for the Nd:YAG laser fundamental wavelength and its harmonics.

LASEROPTIK can produce beam splitters for a wide range of wavelengths from the mid-IR to the ultraviolet region.

Optimized beamsplitter designs from G&H demonstrate superior laser damage performance for each unique wavelength, split, and incident angle combination. High-energy coatings are optimized to accommodate specific application requirements.

For maximum power handling, we recommend optically contacted cubes or plate beamsplitters. For durability and handling, G&H suggests cube beamsplitters.

Custom designed beam splitters for visible and IR applications are a particular speciality. We feedback preliminary performance data in Excel format as part of the quoting process, the link above gives specific examples. Contact us today for expert advice on your needs.

Frankfurt Laser Company offers beam splitters based on diffractive optical elements. An input beam is replicated precisely in the pattern determined by the beam split up. The input beam can be any collimated laser beam of white light source with a beam diameter larger than 100 μm and smaller than the aperture of the element.

Meeting a wide range of specifications, Knight Optical offers both plate and cube (non-polarising and polarising) beamsplitters for ultimate precision when splitting incident light beams. Offered in a choice of three grades, plate beamsplitters can be supplied in standard, economy and precision λ/4 options.

Cailabs offers beam splitting modules with excellent splitting quality and homogeneity, combined with the ability to electronically choose between several patterns. The reflective design and the high transmission enables parallel processing with ultrashort pulse lasers.

UltraFast Innovations (UFI) offers various beamsplitters which are suitable for broadband ultrashort pulses: they offer consistent performance over a broad bandwidth and low group delay dispersion (GDD). Versions for different wavelengths, splitting ratios and angles of incidence are available.

We produce precision beamsplitters with multi-spectral and hyperspectral coatings. Our beamsplitters provide minimal beam deviation and maximal power throughput using adhesive free manufacturing techniques.

Shalom EO offers the stocked and custom high power narrow band laser line and broad band Polarizing Cube Beamsplitters (PBS), with typical wavelengths of 355 nm, 405 nm, 532 nm, 633 nm, 780-808 nm and 1064 nm, damage threshold of 10 J/cm² at 1064 nm, 10 ns, 10Hz pulses. The extinction ratio is 1000:1. The interface of these beamsplitter cubes is based on an epoxy-free optical contact bonding, which minimizes absorption and scattering loss. It is thermally stable with high transmission and minimal beam displacement. Besides the high power PBS, Shalom EO also offers the general power low cost PBS and non-polarizing beamsplitters.

DataRay offers two unique beam splitters: the Polarization Preserving Beam Sampler (PPBS) and the Compact Beam Sampler (CBS) for various applications.

OPTOMAN offers laser beam splitters which are optimized to split or combine high-power laser beams operating in the visible through infrared wavelengths. OPTOMAN design coatings with high accuracy splitting ratios and low GDD behavior for an optimal result in ultrafast applications. Non-polarizing beamsplitter coatings with S and P components matched to within 1% are also available.

Shanghai Optics manufactures custom cubic beamsplitters, plate beamsplitters, and lateral displacement beamsplitters. All our beamsplitters are made of high quality glass, with high surface quality to allow tight tolerance on all parameters.

Schäfter+Kirchhoff offers compact, rugged and highly efficient and fully fiber-coupled opto-mechanical units for splitting fiber coupled radiation for the configurations 1 ⇾ 2 and 2 ⇾ 2.

Perkins Precision Developments (PPD) manufactures polarizing and non-polarizing beam splitters, beam splitter cubes, dichroic laser mirrors, prism polarizers, partial reflectors and output couplers for both R & D and OEM applications. Because we utilize Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) coating technology, our beam splitters and beam splitter assemblies are environmentally stable, thus there is no spectral shift caused by either time, moisture or temperature.

As with all of our precision laser optics and optical assemblies, PPD's laser-line and broadband beam splitters and output couplers exhibit both low absorption and high damage thresholds (20 J/cm²!), making them ideal for use with high energy Nd:YAG and fibers lasers as well as other high-power pulsed and CW laser systems.

Custom dielectric beam splitter coatings and low-loss anti-reflection (AR) coatings can also be deposited on customer supplied substrates, including flats, curves and prisms.

Artifex Engineering offers high quality custom beamsplitters tailored to your requirements. Coatings for single wavelengths or broadband are possible in the UV-NIR range. We offer beam splitters as plates, cubes and pentaprisms. Artifex offers unpolarized, non polarizing and polarizing versions for the three types. Visit our product page for more information. We look forward to your inquiry.

Ibsen is your reliable, stable supplier of highest quality phase masks with over 25 years of product and market experience. Phase masks are the production tool used to write gratings in fibers and waveguides. Ibsen phase masks incorporate unbeatable, interferometric (holographic) patterning technology into a production-friendly phase mask.

VisiMax process beam splitter coatings are designed to address specific reflection and transmission ratios, wavelengths, angles of incidence (AOI), and polarization states, as well as conform to the index and temperature sensitivities of specific optical component materials. VisiMax can design beam splitter coatings for most optical materials including glass, plastics, molded polymer optics, and semiconductor materials. While VisiMax routinely handles many standard beam splitter designs such as 50/50, 60/40, and 70/30 R/T ratios, we can also design custom coatings to meet the particular requirements of your optical system.

Edmund Optics offers plate, cube, pellicle, polka dot, and specialty prism beamsplitters in a variety of anti-reflection coatings or substrates. Standard beamsplitters, which split incident light by a specified ratio that is independent of wavelength or polarization state, are ideal for illumination subassemblies or as one way mirrors. Dichroic beamsplitters, which split light by wavelength, are often used as laser beam combiners or as broadband hot or cold mirrors. Non-polarizing beamsplitters, ideal for laser beam manipulation, split light by overall intensity. Polarizing beamsplitters, often used in photonics instrumentation, split light by polarization state. Edmund Optics’ anti-reflection coatings are designed for the ultraviolet (UV), visible, or infrared (IR).

Gentec Electro-Optics offers beam splitters used as optical attenuators for measurements on high-power laser beams.
