Beam Splitters
Perkins Precision Developments (PPD) manufactures polarizing beam splitter cubes, dichroic laser mirrors, partial reflectors, output couplers, and non-polarizing plate beam splitters for both R&D and OEM applications. Because we utilize Ion Beam Sputtered (IBS) coating technology, our beam splitters and beam splitter assemblies are environmentally stable; therefore, there is no spectral shifting caused by 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 (20J!), 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. Please send us your requests for precision laser optics and thin film coatings for either prototype or volume OEM requirements.
