Features

This is an optical component that separates transmitted light and reflected light at the desired ratio. It is also possible to separate P-polarized and S-polarized light from incident light (PBS: Polarizing Beam Splitter) and to produce a type with less polarization dependence (N-PBS: Non-Polarizing Beam Splitter).

Applications

Laser processing machines, measuring instrument, semiconductor exposure apparatus, FPD exposure apparatus and cameras

Example characteristics

PBS(Polarization Beam Splitter)

Cube type
Two rectangular prisms are bonded together and a dielectric multilayer film is applied to the slope of one prism to separate the P- and S-polarized components. It separates a single wavelength of the near-infrared region from the ultraviolet region, and the P- and S-polarized components of the visible region.
We design the wavelength, angle of incidence and extinction ratio to meet customer requirements. We also accept orders for optical contact lenses.

Plate type
By applying a dielectric multilayer film onto a substrate, it is possible to separate the P- and S-polarized components of a single wavelength or narrow range of wavelengths within the wavelength range from the ultraviolet region to the near infrared region. We design the wavelength, angle of incidence and extinction ratio to meet customer requirements. It has excellent light and heat resistance and is suitable for laser applications.

BS(Beam Splitter)

By applying a dielectric multilayer film onto a substrate, it is possible to separate specific wavelengths in two directions at the desired ratio within the wavelength range from the ultraviolet region to the infrared region.
We design the wavelength, angle of incidence and extinction ratio to meet customer requirements.

Features

This is known generally as AR (anti-reflection).
It is a coating process in which a thin dielectric film is formed on the surface of a substrate in a single layer or multiple layers, and the reflectivity of the surface is reduced by light interference.

This increases the transmittance of the substrate, eliminates reflection on the surface and prevents ghosting.
The band of the anti-reflection effect can be selected by manipulating the thickness of the film, the number of layers and the combination of materials.

A wide range of wavelengths is available, from ultraviolet to infrared.
And a wide range of materials can be coated, including glass and infrared crystal materials.

Coating substrates

Provides coatings on glass, resin, quartz, sapphire, ruby, YAG, Si, Ge, ZnSe, ZnS, etc. and other optical crystals.

Applications

Various cover glasses, prevention of ghosting on assembled lenses, sensor windows, etc.

Example applications include coating on curved lens surfaces, fiber end surfaces, cover glass surfaces, and crystal materials (CaF2, Si, Zn, Se).
