Beam Splitters — Abridged Guide
Cube beam splitters provide equal optical path lengths for both output beams — important for interferometry. Plate beam splitters require a compensation plate in one arm to match path lengths.

What are Beamsplitters?
Optical components that create two beams by splitting incident light are beamsplitters. Read more about the different types of beamsplitters at Edmund Optics.
Beam Splitters – optical power splitter, beamsplitter, thin-film
A beam splitter is an optical component used for splitting light into two separate beams, usually by wavelength or polarity. It can also be used, in reverse, as a beam combiner, to join two light beams
Beamsplitters: A Guide for Designers | Optics
A beamsplitter is an optical device used to divide a beam of light into two or more separate beams, typically by reflecting a portion of the incident light while transmitting the remainder.
Beam splitter
A beam splitter or beamsplitter is an optical device that splits a beam of light into a transmitted and a reflected beam. It is a crucial part of many optical experimental and measurement systems, such as
Diffractive Multispot Beam splitter
There are two main types of diffractive beam splitters that HOLO/OR offers: binary and multilevel. A binary diffractive pattern has only two levels, and is the “work horse” of diffractive optics.
How beam splitters affect signal attenuation and polarization
Signal attenuation refers to the reduction in the intensity of a light beam as it passes through a medium or a device. In the context of beam splitters, attenuation can occur due to several
Optical Splitter Loss Calculator
A splitter does not “create” power; it divides available optical energy among outputs, so every branch must be checked for adequate loss budget. This calculator helps construction and commissioning
Beam Splitter Selection Guide
An Optical Beamsplitter is an optic or optical device that is used to split a beam of light in two. Newport offers a wide variety of Beamsplitters in various shapes.
