Prism Beam Splitters
Compare HCBS1 standard, HCBS2 polarizing, HCBS3 non-polarizing and HPBS high-power polarizing beamsplitter prisms. Begin with the required treatment of polarization and output beams, then compare size and the operating conditions stated for each family.
Standard Beamsplitter Prisms — HCBS1 Series
Polarizing Beamsplitter Prisms — HCBS2 Series
Non-Polarizing Beamsplitter Prisms — HCBS3 Series
High-Power Polarizing Beamsplitter Prisms — HPBS Series
Choosing Prism Beam Splitters
- Decide whether polarization should be separated or whether a non-polarizing division is required.
- Specify wavelength, desired splitting behavior and usable aperture in the intended input and output paths.
- For high-power use, provide beam diameter, continuous or pulsed operation and pulse details; verify model suitability rather than relying on the family name.
