Overview:
Cube Beam Splitters (CBS) are typically constructed from two right angle prisms that are
cemented together with an index-matched adhesive
hypotenuse-to-hypotenuse with a dielectric coating in between which
allows to split incident light at a designated ratio into two
separate beams. For most applications, the prism legs are
anti-reflection coated.
Beam Splitters are useful in interferometry, fiber optics,
metrology, oceanography, seismology, chemistry, plasma physics,
remote sensing, biomolecular interactions, surface profiling, micro
fluidics, mechanical stress/strain measurement, and velocimetry.
