Strip separator / optical beam - B-GCP0xx series

Beamsplitters (Plate Round)
Plate beamsplitters consist of a thin window with a beam splitter coating deposited on one side. They are used at 45 degrees incident angle. The beam is partially reflected at a 90 degrees angle and partially transmitted through the glass.

Waveplate - W-xPOxxx series

The zero order waveplate is designed to give a retardance of zero full waves, plus the desired fraction. Zero Order Waveplates show better performance than multiple order waveplates. They show a broader bandwidth and a lower sensitivity to temperature and wavelength changes and should be considered for more critical applications.

Waveplate - W-xPxxxx series

Made of a single quartz plate that is very thin, true zero order waveplates are provided either by themselves as a single plate for high damage threshold applications (greater than 1 GW/cm2), or as a cemented plate on a BK7 substrate to provide strength.

Waveplate dual-wavelength - W-xPxxxx series

The low (multiple) order waveplate is designed to give a retardance of several full waves, plus the desired fraction. This results in a single, physically robust component with desired performance. However, even small changes in wavelength or temperature will result in significant changes in the desired fractional retardance. They are less expensive and find use in many applications where the increased sensitivities are not an important.

The dual wavelength waveplate is a multiple waveplate that provides a specific retardance at two different wavelengths. It is particularly useful when used in conjunction with other polarization sensitive components to separate coaxial laser beams of different wavelength.
