Round and square heads of beam splitters

Square-head SC and Round-head FC beam splitters

While most beam splitters have only two output ports, there are also beam splitters with multiple outputs. They may be realized, for example, based on diffractive optics.

Beam Splitter Selection Guide

These beamsplitters are made from high grade glass materials with laser grade surface flatness and surface quality and have a tighter tolerance on the splitting ratio.

OverviewDesignsPhase shiftClassical lossless beam splitterUse in experimentsQuantum mechanical descriptionReflection beam splitters

In its most common form, a cube, a beam splitter is made from two triangular glass prisms which are glued together at their base using polyester, epoxy, or urethane-based adhesives. (Before these synthetic resins, natural ones were used, e.g. Canada balsam.) The thickness of the resin layer is adjusted such that (for a certain wavelength) half of the light incident through one "port" (i.e., face of the cube) is reflected and th
