Photonics 101

As the name suggests, a beam splitter refers to an optical device which is used to split or divide a beam of light into two. A beam splitter is usually the cornerstone of most interferometers.

Beam Splitters

Beam splitters can be polarizing or non-polarizing, with their effectiveness often depending on the polarization state of the incoming light. Additionally, some beam splitters are designed for specific

How Does a Beam Splitter Work?

A beam splitter is an optical device that divides a single incoming beam of light into two or more separate beams. Its fundamental purpose is to precisely control the path and intensity of light,

Beam Splitting

A conventional beam splitter is an optical component used to divide an incident beam into two or more beams by refracting or reflecting it. In contrast, artificial nanostructures of metasurfaces provide

What are Beamsplitters?

Beamsplitters are generally effective at reflecting s-polarization but they are not as effective at preventing p-polarization from reflecting. This occurs because when s
