Beam Splitter Tutorial

A beam splitter is an optical device that divides an incoming light beam into two separate beams. One beam is typically reflected while the other is transmitted. The ratio of reflected to transmitted light can vary based on the design of the beam splitter.

Using a Beam Splitter:

·         Observation: Once the light hits the beam splitter, observe the two resulting beams – the reflected and transmitted beams. Depending on the application, these beams can be used individually or combined for interference.

Conclusion: Beam splitters are pivotal in a range of optical applications, from basic light redirection to intricate quantum studies. Selecting the apt type and comprehending its features is key to success in any experiment or optical endeavor.
