◆Output Coupler |
An output coupler (OC) is a partially reflective
mirror used in lasers to extract a portion of
the laser beam from the optical resonator. Lasers
operate by reflecting light between two or more
mirrors which have an active laser medium
between them. The medium amplifies the light by
stimulated emission. For lasing to occur, the
gain of the active medium must be larger than
the total loss, which includes both unwanted
effects such as absorption, and the intentional
release of energy through the output coupler. In
other words the laser must attain threshold. |

◆Polarizer |
|
When a natural beam
transmits through the dichroic material, one of
the orthogonal polarization component of the
beam is strongly absorbed and the other goes out
with a weak absorption. So, polarizer can be
used to convert randomly polarized beam into
linearly polarized beam. |

◆Waveplate |
|
Crystalline quartz is frequently used in strictt quality retardation applications,
Zero-order waveplate is made by cementing
together two quartz plates with their fast axes
orthogonal to each other. The difference in
thickness is equal to either λ/4
or λ/2
for a specified wavelength. Compared with
multiple-order quartz retarders, they are much
more insensitive to the variation of retardation
with wavelength, temperature and angle of
incidence. Waveplates of other wavelength and
sizes are custom made. |
Half Waveplate
|
When applying a linearly polarized beam to a
half waveplate, it emerges as a linearly
polarized beam but its polarization plane is
rotated with respect to the polarization plane
of the input beam. The rotation of the
polarization plane is such that the angle
between the input polarization and the output
polarization is twice the angle between the
input polarization and the waveplate's axis.
When applying a circularly polarized beam, a
clockwise circular polarization will transform
into a counter-clockwise circular polarization
and vice versa. |
Quarter Waveplate
|
When applying a linearly polarized beam with the
polarization plane aligned at 45deg to the
waveplate's principal plane, the output beam
will be circularly polarized. Similarly when
applying a circularly polarized beam to a ¦Ë/4
waveplate the output beam will be linearly
polarized. When a quarter waveplate is double
passed, i.e. by mirror reflection, it acts as a
half waveplate and rotates the plane of
polarization to a certain angle. Quarter
waveplates are widely used in creating circular
polarization from linear or linear polarization
from circular, ellipsometry, optical pumping,
suppressing unwanted reflection, optical
isolation and etc. |

Product Detail
Broadband polarizing cube beamsplitters provide efficient polarization for use
with multiple or tunable sources. Each polarizer consists of a pair of precision
right-angle prisms carefully cemented together to minimize wavefront distortion.
The hypotenuse of one of the prisms is coated with a multilayer dielectric
polarizing beamsplitter coating optimized for a broad wavelength range. The four
faces are antireflection coated with a multilayer dielectric coating to minimize
surface reflection losses.
An unpolarized beam is split into two orthogonal, linearly polarized components.
P-polarized light is transmitted, while s-polarized light is reflected, both
with negligible absorption. The extinction ratio is better than 500:1, yet it
averages 1000:1. This unique component provides all the benefits of a broadband
polarizer in a standard cube configuration.
Broadband polarizing cube beamsplitters are available in four wavelength ranges
covering the visible through near infrared. They are offered in two sizes:12.7
and 25.4 mm. |
