Variable beam splitters have a inhomogeneous layer distribution on a square substrate. The components are used to incorporate two beams in an assembly with a single laser when the laser power of both partial beams were supposed to be identical folllowing the last optic in the system. This is impossible with conventional beam splitters because the different components transmit light unevenly.
The beam splitters are based on a customer request. The designs depend on the wavelength: If a variable beam splitter is developed for a wavelength of 532 nm, it does not function at another wavelength. For example, for 1064 nm designs, transmissions from 45% to 55% and 10% to 70% are available, or for the wavelength 753 nm transmissions from 4% to 20%.
Two standard sizes are offered: 45 mm x 22 mm and 70 mm x 22 mm. Other sizes are available but the maximum length of the substrates is restricted at 70 mm.
