Polarizing Beamsplitters (PBS) are
designed to split light by polarization state rather than
by wavelength or intensity. PBS are often used in
semiconductor or photonics instrumentation to transmit p-polarized light
while reflecting s-polarized light. Optical isolators use PBS to eliminate feedback-induced damage. PBS are typically designed for 0° or 45° angle of incidence
with a 90° separation of the beams, depending on the configuration.WISOPTIC offers a wide variety of PBS in a
range of configurations including plate, cube, or lateral displacement.

Yb:YAG's advantage is a wide pump band and an excellent emission
cross section. It is ideal for diode pumping. The broad absorption band
enables Yb:YAG to maintain uninterrupted pump efficiency across the
typical thermal shift of diode output. High efficiency means a
relatively small dimension Yb:YAG laser crystal will produce high power
output. Based on the YAG host crystal, Yb:YAG can be quickly integrated
into the laser design process.

Polarizing Beamsplitters (PBS) splits incident unpolarized light into two perpendicular linearly polarized light. Among them, p-polarized light passes through completely, while s-polarized light is reflected at 45 deg which makes the emitting direction of s-light vertical to p-light. Additionally, beamsplitters can be used in reverse to combine two
different beams into a single one. Beamsplitters are often classified
according to their construction:cube or plate.Cube PBS are fabricated using two typically right angle prisms.

Ceramic Laser Reflector (Ceramic Laser Cavity) works particularly well in Ruby,
Nd:YAG, or Alexendrite laser pumping chambers and can be a highly cost effective
alternative to metal coated reflectors. Compared to metal reflectors, ceramic units offer higher reflectivity
and therefore enhanced laser power. Surfaces can be sealed and coated
with a solarization-resistant glaze to give high bulk reflectivity.

Optical beamsplitters play a vital role in many laser-based
measurement and positioning systems. Although the operation of a typical
beamsplitter is conceptually simple, its performance characteristics
can dramatically affect the accuracy and repeatability of the overall
system. Consequently, understanding the variables that distinguish
beamsplitter performance is an important step in comparing and
specifying components.

Polarization optics is important for both intra and extra cavity use. By using high contrast thin film polarizers in their design, laser engineers can save weight and volume within the laser system without influencing the output. Compared with polarizing prisms, polarizers have larger incident angle and can be made with larger apertures. Compared with polarizers made from birefringent crystals, the advantage of thin film polarizers made from UVFS or N-BK7 is that they can be fabricated in very large sizes, therefore are
particularly well suited for high laser powers and UV wavelengths.

The Ceramic Laser Reflectors are high reflectance cavities used in solid state and CO2 laser systems. They are built either as a one-piece or two-piece system based on customer requirement.Ceramic cavities produce diffuse reflectance, which offers a very uniform beam profile. This diffuse reflectance also distributes light and consequently decreases hot spots in the pumped medium. These completely dense materials (e.g. Al2O3) exhibit higher strength and scratch resistance than traditional polymeric and thermoplastic materials.
