Cube Polarisers
Polarising
beamsplitter cubes conveniently divide any beam into
two polarised components. They also make excellent variable
beamsplitters, particularly for sources such as lasers
with polarised output, used with a half-wave plate to
vary the incident polarisation state. This arrangement
allows continuous variation of the split ration over
a wide range with negligible losses.
We offer cubes for both with multiplayer AR coatings
for maximum efficiency. Note that the polarisation purity
of the transmitted beam is considerably better than
the reflected beam. For even better performance see
crystal polarisers.
Cubes are also listed mounted in a flanged clevis
mount to fit directly into our rotating holders, Tube
Mount cells and similar mounts, whilst still allowing
access to the reflected beam.
