  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. 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.

  4. Reflector sight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflector_sight

    The reticle image in this sight is produced by an optical collimator bounced off a beam splitter. The dot remains on the target even though the viewer's head is moved side to side A reflector sight or reflex sight is an optical sight that allows the user to look through a partially reflecting glass element and see an illuminated projection of ...

  5. Dichroic prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dichroic_prism

    The red beam is also totally internally reflected due to a small air-gap between prisms A and B. The remaining green component of the beam travels through prism C. The trichroic prism assembly can be used in reverse to combine red, green and blue beams into a coloured image, and is used in this way in some projector devices.

  6. Fiber-optic splitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_splitter

    The FBT splitter is one of the most common. FBT splitters are widely accepted and used in passive networks, especially for instances where the split configuration is smaller (1×2, 1×4, 2×2, etc.). [1] The PLC is a more recent technology. PLC splitters offer a better solution for larger applications.

  7. Secondary mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_mirror

    The secondary mirror assembly of the Keck Telescope and its relationship to the primary mirror. A secondary mirror (or secondary) is the second deflecting or focusing mirror element in a reflecting telescope. Light gathered by the primary mirror is directed towards a focal point typically past the location of the secondary.

  8. Glan–Taylor prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glan–Taylor_prism

    The optical axes are vertical in the plane of the diagram. A Glan–Taylor prism is a type of prism which is used as a polarizer or polarizing beam splitter. [1] It is one of the most common types of modern polarizing prism. It was first described by Archard and Taylor in 1948. [2]

  9. Gyro gunsight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyro_gunsight

    Reflector sights consisting of a 45-degree angle glass beam splitter that sat in front of the pilot and projected an illuminated image of an aiming reticle that appeared to sit out in front of the pilot's field of view at infinity and was perfectly aligned with the plane's guns ("boresighted" with the guns). The sight sat some distance away ...
