WIDEBAND OPTICAL COMPONENTS - MIRRORS, BEAMSPLITTERS, POLARIZERS
Wideband optical components from Alien Photonics are designed to work across a wide range of wavelengths, providing flexibility and multi-functionality in various optical systems. Unlike components limited to one or two wavelengths, these wideband components allow researchers and engineers to optimize performance across multiple wavelengths, making them ideal for a wider array of applications. It is worth knowing that components typically need wideband optical coating to perform well. This broad compatibility enhances their value in both experimental setups (single-type component for numerous experiments!) and industrial applications (same component for different optical devices!).
Wideband Mirrors (Reflectors)
Wideband Reflectors (BBHR) offer high reflectivity across a wide spectrum of wavelengths, making them far more versatile than mirrors designed for single wavelength. This wide range enables consistent performance in multi-wavelength optical devices and scientific research. Alien Photonics offers several wideband options - Aluminum (Al), Silver (Ag), Gold (Au) or dielectric DBHR mirrors. These wideband mirrors ensure minimal light loss and high efficiency across diverse optical applications, providing greater flexibility in system design.
Wideband Partial Reflectors
Wideband partial reflectors, designed to reflect and transmit a specific portion of light across a wide range of wavelengths. Unlike specialized PRs that are optimized for a narrow band or single wavelength, Alien Photonics wideband partial reflectors ensure that light is managed effectively across a wide spectral range. This makes them ideal for complex systems that operate over various wavelengths. Consistent performance across a desired spectrum ensures that wideband partial reflectors can be used in several slightly different optical setups.
Wideband Retarders (Waveplates)
Wideband retarders, such as achromatic waveplates, are designed to keep consistent phase retardation over a wide spectrum, making them more universal solution when comparing to single-wavelength options. In applications where multiple wavelengths are involved, Alien Photonics retarders ensure stable polarization control, which is crucial for maintaining system performance. By eliminating the need for multiple waveplates for different wavelengths, wideband retarders reduce complexity and enhance the overall versatility of the optical system.
Wideband PBS Cubes
Wideband Polarizing Beam Splitter (PBS) cubes can split wide range of light into two beams with orthogonal polarizations across a broad spectral range. This broad wavelength functionality makes them much more universal than traditional PBS cubes, which may only work effectively at specific wavelengths. Alien Photonics wideband PBS cubes are ideal for applications requiring high polarization purity over a wide range of wavelengths, such as imaging systems, providing more flexibility and reducing the need for wavelength-specific components.
Wideband Non-Polarizing Beamsplitters
Wideband non-polarizing beamsplitters (NPBS) are designed to split light into two paths without altering its polarization state. Wideband NPBS can handle various polarization states effectively, which is ideal for complex applications where maintaining the polarization state is critical. Alien Photonics wideband non-polarizing beamsplitters simplify system design and reduce the need for wavelength-specific components.
Wideband NPBS Cubes
Wideband NPBS cubes split light into two beams with minimal polarization-dependent loss, ensuring consistent performance across a wide spectrum. Alien Photonics NPBS cubes compact design and ability to work in a wide range of wavelengths make them a flexible and powerful choice for various optical setups, from research to complex laser or imaging systems.
Wideband NPBS Plates
Wideband NPBS plates have same spectral non-polarizing beam splitting characteristics as wideband NPBS cubes. However, NPBS plates are thin and flat, and this makes them suitable for space-constrained applications. Alien Photonics wideband NPBS plates are designed to operate efficiently over a wide range of wavelengths, with consistent beam splitting without altering the polarization state.
Wideband Thin Film Polarizer (TFP) Plates
Alien Photonics offers Brewster-Type and Custom angle wideband TFP plates. Wideband is typically about 100 nm, custom design options also available.
Wideband Brewster-Type Polarizer - Universal TFP plate
Wideband Brewster-Type Thin-Film Polarizers are optimized to work across a wide range of wavelengths, unlike single-band polarizers limited to a specific wavelength. By efficiently transmitting p-polarized and reflecting s-polarized light over a broad spectrum, Alien Photonics Brewster type polarizers improve overall system efficiency. The ability to handle multiple wavelengths makes these TFP plates ideal for complex optical research, where wavelength tuning is needed.
Wideband Custom Angle Polarizer Plates - Universal TFP plate
Custom Angle Wideband Thin-Film Polarizer (TFP) Plates are specifically designed to handle wavelength ranges, providing optimized polarization performance across a wide spectrum. By offering tailored solutions, Alien Photonics TFP polarizers enhance the flexibility and efficiency of state-of-the-art optical systems.
Wideband Lenses - Achromatic Lenses
Achromatic lenses correct chromatic aberration by focusing different wavelengths of light to a common point. This feature makes them more universal when comparing to standard lenses, that are designed for one or two wavelengths. Wideband functionality results in clearer, sharper images, which is essential for high-precision applications like microscopy and imaging. Effectively controlling multiple wavelengths with a single lens reduces the need for additional components and improves the overall performance of optical systems.
