Principle of Prism Beam Splitter

Home / Principle of Prism Beam Splitter

The working principle of the beam splitting prism is mainly based on the refraction and dispersion of light. When light passes through a prism, different wavelengths of light are deflected due to different refractive indices, forming a specific spectrum. It is a crucial part of many optical experimental and measurement systems, such as interferometers, also finding widespread application in fibre optic telecommunications. A beam splitter (or beamsplitter, power splitter) is an optical device which can split an incident light beam (e. a laser beam) into two (or sometimes more) beams, which may or may not have the same optical power (radiant flux).
