Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blue light beam splitter filter manufacturing, specifically to a blue light beam splitter filter used in lasers. Background Technology

[0002] A laser beam splitter is an extremely important optical component, whose main function is to split a laser beam into two or more beams. How is this amazing optical phenomenon achieved? This is where its unique beam-splitting film comes in.

[0003] A special beam-splitting film is carefully deposited on the optical surface of the laser beam-splitting plane mirror. This allows incident light to be reflected and transmitted separately in specific proportions. The beam-splitting film is the core component of the laser beam-splitting plane mirror, and the entire beam-splitting process is based on the reflection and transmission characteristics of light.

[0004] Through meticulous design of the beam splitter, its reflectivity and transmittance are precisely adjusted. For example, when the reflectivity of the beam splitter is set to a certain value, the transmittance is correspondingly determined according to pre-calculation. In this way, when a laser beam is incident on the plane mirror, it will be split into reflected light and transmitted light according to the characteristics of the beam splitter, and the ratio between the two will exactly meet the design requirements.

[0005] This precise light distribution capability plays an irreplaceable role in many fields. Whether it is the precise distribution of signals in laser communication or the rational planning of energy flow in laser processing, the laser beam splitter plays a crucial role. Utility Model Content
