  Beam splitter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A beam splitter is an optical device, that splits a beam of light in two.
Polarizing beam splitters, such as the Wollaston prism, use birefringent materials, splitting light into beams of differing polarization.
A third version of the beam splitter is a dichroic mirrored prism assembly which uses dichroic optical coatings to split the incoming light into three beams, one each of red, green and blue.

 United States Patent Application: 0010036083
The dichroic beam splitter combines light from the first and second solid state light sources by passing light in the first band while reflecting light in the second band to generate light having a spectral content in the first and second bands.
Beam splitter 54 combines the output of arrays 51 and 52 which emit light in spectral bands at cl and c2, respectively.
Beam splitter 54 is chosen such that it reflects light around the spectral maximum of array 52 and transmits light of all other visible wavelengths.

The beam of interest is the one that transmits through the beam splitter and travels to the observation screen.
It is the transmitted beam created when the light from the point source was incident upon the beam splitter.
We are interested in the reflected beam, which travels to the observation screen and interferes there with the beam that has traveled in the other arm of the interferometer.

 FGS Interferometer
The dielectric layer performs an equal intensity division of the beam, reflecting half and transmitting half, imparting a 90 degree phase lag in the transmitted beam.
The degree of interference between the two beams is directly related to the angle, or tilt, between the incoming wavefront's propagation vector and the plane of the dielectric surface.
Each beam is focussed by a positive doublet onto a field stop assembly (which narrows the IFOV to 5 x 5 arcsec).

 A Simple INTERFEROMETER for testing telescope mirrors
If we input a narrow cone of rays, focused after reflection from the beam splitter onto point C in figure 2, then the above argument holds for each ray of the cone, and point C becomes a reference point against which the mirror under test may be compared.
The rays reflected from the beam splitter to point C are now a 'reference beam', whilst the rays first reflected from the oblique mirror diverge and become a 'test beam'.
The oblique and beam splitter are at 45° to the axis of the test piece, and reflection of the test beam is from the front of the beam splitter.

 Splitter -> Pirex
The dominating problem of this beam line is the activation generated by the relatively high splitter (EHT) losses.
When cutting off 20 µA from the 1.5 mA main beam as much as 2 µA of the protons are making head on collisions with the septum (wires or strips) as has been established through measurements by M. Olivo (please contact him if you need more information about splitter details).
The proton losses along the beam line produced by spill of the splitter were computed with the computer code Turtle which is available electronically for various PC operating systems.

 Switch channels atom beams TRN 013101
A group of European researchers has built a tiny beam splitter for guiding atoms that is essentially a forked wire that lures a batch of atoms along either fork or coaxes half to go one way and half the other.
The beam splitter is a step toward controlling small batches of atoms at a scale that could be useful for studying their quantum behavior.
The beam splitter is made up of the 10-micron wires that guide the atoms, a pair of U-shaped 200-micron wires that are used to load atoms into the smaller wire, and a 1-millimeter-thick U-shaped wire underneath the chip that feeds atoms to the 200-micron wires.
