The third type of beamsplitter, used in completely different applications, is the diffractive beam splitter, also known as a “multispot” (MS) or “dot generator”. Unlike the former types of beamsplitters, diffractive beam splitters are not limited in their functionality to generating only 2  output beams. They can be designed to generate multiple output beams in a desired configuration from a single input beam. Diffractive beam splitters are non polarizing optics,  that operate at the discrete wavelength for whom they were designed (and the narrow bandwidth around it +-1.5%).

A: Depending on the functionality you are trying the achieve and your input beam characteristics, there are 3 main types of beam splitters:Beam splitter cube - splits a light beam to two beams with 90 degrees angle between them, typically with 50/50 R/T ratio. Can be polarizing or non-polarizing.Plate beamsplitter - splits a light beam to two beams with 90 degrees angle between them, R/T ratio is determined by coating.Diffractive beam splitter - splits a laser beam into any number of desired beams in ant configuration.

We provide several coating options to tailor reflectivity and efficiency. Protected Aluminum (Al) – Aluminum coat with a thin overcoat of magnesium flouride (MgF2) which prevents the formation of aluminum oxide which is absorbing in deep UV. It provides no benefit over bare aluminum for gratings used in VIS and IR. Gold (Au) – Superior performance over aluminum in the NIR region. Below 600nm the reflectance of gold falls off significantly and is a poor choice. Above 1200nm, gold offers very little advantage for a single pass application.

The DOE beam splitter uses microstructures fabricated on a flat optical window to create a phase delay pattern on the beam propagating through it and thus utilizes the wave nature of light to split the output as desired. These structures are designed to a specific wavelength, and if used with a different one will cause a reduction in efficiency and change the diffraction angles.

Typical holographic diffraction gratings are produced on soda lime and fused silica glass substrates from high quality holographic master gratings and are intended for use in spectrometers and monochromators where cost and low stray light are of primary concern. They exhibit a flatter response due to their sinusoidal groove profile.

Echelle replica gratings are special low period gratings designed for use in high orders only. The maximum possible resolution is obtained but, in general, it is necessary to use a second grating or prism to separate out the overlapping diffracted orders. Echelle replica gratings are an ideal solution for high-resolution spectroscopy due to their high dispersion in high orders.

Another common beamsplitter option for splitting the input light beam into two output beams, is the plate beamsplitter. This device consists of a flat  optical window, one side coated with partial reflective coating and the other side typically coated with anti reflective coating to avoid undesired Fresnel reflections. The angle between the transmitted and reflected beams is 90 degree, and the R/T ratio can be controlled by the deployed coating. In this case the transmitted portion of the beam does suffer from a slight beam shift.

Ruled diffraction gratings have a higher peak efficiency than holographic diffraction gratings and a sharper spectral response around their blaze wavelength, due to their “sawtooth” groove profile. Applications like fluorescence excitation, analytical chemistry, life sciences, telecom, physics, education and space sciences – centered around a narrow wavelength range – benefit from a ruled diffraction grating blazed at that wavelength.

Other applications use a 1-dimensional array of spots typically with stage movement or a scanner  to enable multiple processing. Some of the more common applications in this sector includes:

A: A diffractive beam splitter is used in any laser application where one wishes to increase throughput and has sufficient power to process several spots at the same time . Some of these include: perforation, surface structuring, fractional skin treatments, scribing, dicing, cutting and welding

A transmission grating offers a basic simplicity for optical designs that can be beneficial in fixed grating applications such as spectrographs (aka optical spectrometer). The incident light is dispersed on the opposite side of the grating at a fixed angle. Transmission gratings are very forgiving for certain types of grating alignment errors.

The greatest advantage of a diffractive beam splitter laser system is its ability to massively increase an optical system’s throughput by a factor equal to  the number of diffracted orders.

A: Depending on the functionality you are trying the achieve and your input beam characteristics, there are 3 main types of beam splitters:

The most common beamsplitter design is perhaps the cube beam splitter, constructed of two prisms attached together to form a cube structure, this beam splitter splits the input light into two beams with 90 degrees angle between them and no beam shift. This type of beam splitter typically provides a 50/50 Reflection/Transmission (R/T) ratio (but not limited to it) and can come in either polarizing or non-polarizing designs.

A short introduction to light beam splitting with emphasis on a diffractive beam splitter, it’s unique qualities and advantages

Dispersion required and efficiency at peak wavelength are often trade-offs. Coarse gratings, for example, generally have higher peak efficiency but lower dispersion.

Our foundational technology allows us to create replicated gratings that offer affordable performance and our products cover the spectrum from the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) to long-wave infrared (LWIR).

A: A diffractive beam splitter is used in any laser application where one wishes to increase throughput and has sufficient power to process several spots at the same time . Some of these include: perforation, surface structuring, fractional skin treatments, scribing, dicing, cutting and welding

Some of the classic applications who have managed to make the most of these unique components use them to generate a 2-dimensional matrix of spots to cover an entire large area work surface. These include:

Our patented filtered diffraction gratings are a custom solution for OEM applications requiring isolation of the desired spectral band prior to diffraction, and are design limited in doing so prior to the diffraction grating component. Filtering the undesired spectral band prior to diffraction minimizes second order and ray scattering effects, maximizing spectral dynamic range.

A diffraction grating is an optical component with a periodic structure that splits and diffracts light into several beams traveling in different directions. The directions of the beams depend on the spacing of the grating and the wavelength of the light so that the grating acts as the dispersive element.

A diffractive beam splitter is a periodic, grating-like, diffractive optical element (DOE). It splits a single input laser beam into any number of output beams in any desired predefined arrangement and separations. The output beams are sometimes referred to as the diffraction orders.

Another application using a 2-D multispot configuration is structured light laser projection for 3D sensing or flash LiDAR.

Different types of beam splitters are used to control different parameters of the output beams (such as optical power ratio, polarization, number of spots and separation angle between them) to achieve various desired outputs.

Original gratings are first-run diffraction gratings where a substrate, likely glass or copper, is polished to a finish better than one-tenth of a wavelength (λ/10) with a high degree of flatness. For ruled diffraction gratings, the surface is then coated with aluminum using vacuum deposition. Photosensitive (photoresist) coating is used for holographic diffraction gratings. The master grating is completed by grooving the surface with either a ruling engine or holographic system.
