  2. Beam splitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_splitter

    A diffractive beam splitter can generate either a 1-dimensional beam array (1xN) or a 2-dimensional beam matrix (MxN), depending on the diffractive pattern on the element. The diffractive beam splitter is used with monochromatic light such as a laser beam, and is designed for a specific wavelength and angle of separation between output beams.

  3. Ground-based interferometric gravitational-wave search

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-based_interfero...

    A laser is divided into two beams by a beam splitter tilted by 45 degrees. The two beams propagate in the two perpendicular arms of the interferometer, are reflected by mirrors located at the end of the arms, and recombine on the beam splitter, generating interferences which are detected by a photodiode. An incoming gravitational wave changes ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson_interferometer

    As shown in Fig. 3a and 3b, the observer has a direct view of mirror M 1 seen through the beam splitter, and sees a reflected image M' 2 of mirror M 2. The fringes can be interpreted as the result of interference between light coming from the two virtual images S' 1 and S' 2 of the original source S .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interferometry

    As seen in Fig. 2a and 2b, the observer has a direct view of mirror M 1 seen through the beam splitter, and sees a reflected image M ′ 2 of mirror M 2. The fringes can be interpreted as the result of interference between light coming from the two virtual images S ′ 1 and S ′ 2 of the original source S .

  6. LIGO - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LIGO

    The mirror fully transmits light incident from the laser and reflects light from the other side increasing the power of the light field between the mirror and the subsequent beam splitter to 700 W. From the beam splitter the light travels along two orthogonal arms. By the use of partially reflecting mirrors, Fabry–Pérot cavities are created ...

  7. Fizeau experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fizeau_experiment

    A highly simplified representation of Fizeau's 1851 experiment is presented in Fig. 2. Incoming light is split into two beams by a beam splitter (BS) and passed through two columns of water flowing in opposite directions. The two beams are then recombined to form an interference pattern that can be interpreted by an observer.

  9. Pellicle mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pellicle_mirror

    Splitting the beam allows its use for multiple purposes simultaneously. The thinness of the mirror practically eliminates beam or image doubling due to a non-coincident weak second reflection from the nominally non-reflecting surface, a problem with mirror-type beam splitters. [1] The name pellicle is a diminutive of pellis, a skin or film.
