| Polarized Cubed Beamsplitter |
|
These are polarized cubed beamsplitters, they are used to combine laser beams
of the same frequency e.g. two 650nm (red) lasers. This means you can double
the power of a laser beam, although you will loose a few mw though the cubes.
If you were to combine 2x 200mw laser would you get something like 350-380mw
out.
These cubes are polarized for 650nm (red) lasers.
This photo shows the orientation of the two beams-
To combine two beams the lasers need to be set so the orientation is at 90 degrees to each other, like in the above photo. If you look at this video, you can see when i turn the laser the orientation/polarisation changes and so does the amount of lighting coming out the other side of the cube. Only 3 sides of a cubed beamsplitter are need and its a case of trying to find out which 3?? The laser at 90 degrees but you can still see the lens through the cube -
The laser going straight through the cube -
Both lasers pointing at the cube -
So you put two beams in and get one beam out, just check the orientation of your laser -
