Specialized beam-splitter cube designed for experiments and niche applications involving HeNe and Ruby lasers.
This optical component can function as both a beam combiner and beam splitter, specifically engineered to work with the characteristic wavelengths of HeNe (632.8 nm) and Ruby (694.3 nm) lasers.
The cube exhibits a strong polarizing effect, which can be utilized in experiments requiring polarization control or analysis. The transmission characteristics for S and P polarization are detailed in the provided graph.
Featuring a fully dielectric optical coating with near-zero absorption, this component ensures minimal energy loss and avoids thermal effects that could occur with absorbing coatings.
A practical ridge is glued on the top side of the cube to facilitate easier handling and positioning during experimental setups.
This beam combiner/splitter is ideal for educational demonstrations, research experiments, and specialized applications where combining or separating beams from these specific laser types is required.
