LBS-300 Beam Splitters
The LBS-300 beam splitter attachment for C-mount, CS-mount, or Ophir mount cameras allow you to measure laser beams with diameters up to 15mm and powers ranging from 10 mWatts to ~400 Watts1. The beam sampler is designed so that the preferential polarization selection effect of a single wedge is cancelled out and the resulting beam image is polarization corrected to restore the polarization components of the original beam. The beam sampler operates by reflecting the oncoming beam from the front surfaces of a pair of wedges through 90 degrees into the camera. Approximately 99% of the beam is transmitted through the beam sampler with .01% passed on to the camera. A set of adjustable ND filters are provided to make final intensity adjustments to the beam before it reaches the camera imager. As an option, you may order the WVF-300 SP90195 continuously variable ND filter set that can slide in and replace the fixed ND filters.If additional attenuation is needed, an external wedge (P/N SPZ17015) may be mounted at the input port, however this 3rd wedge will cause polarization selectivity when the beam is significantly polarized different in the S and P planes. Alternatively, two LBS-300s can be coupled in series providing up to a 10-8 attenuation.
