Precision optical components


CNI Laser has a team of experienced optical component design engineers, capable of designing and manufacturing high-precision optical components and accessories of various materials for customers.

 


Laser Output Mirror 

The output mirror is a crucial component for achieving laser output in the resonant cavity. Laser light is generated through stimulated emission and amplification by reflecting back and forth between two or more mirrors with an active medium. To obtain laser light, the gain of the active medium must be greater than the initial energy release loss of the output mirror. CNI can provide dedicated output mirrors for lasers of different wavelengths.

Polarizer

When natural light passes through a dichroic material, one orthogonal polarization component of the light beam is strongly absorbed, while the other is weakly absorbed and transmitted. Therefore, a polarizer can be used to convert randomly polarized light into linearly polarized light.

Wave plate

A waveplate, also known as a phase retarder, is fabricated from birefringent materials. It induces a phase shift between the two mutually orthogonal polarization components passing through it and can be used to adjust the polarization state of the light beam. CNI's waveplates are made of quartz crystals, mainly including half-wave plates and quarter-wave plates. Waveplates with various wavelengths and sizes can be customized.
 

Half-wave plate

After linearly polarized light passes through a half-wave plate (HWP), it remains linearly polarized light. However, the vibration plane of its resultant vibration rotates by 2θ relative to that of the incident linearly polarized light. If θ = 45°, the vibration plane of the emergent light is perpendicular to that of the original incident light—meaning the half-wave plate can rotate the polarization state by 90° when θ = 45°. Additionally, the half-wave plate can be used in conjunction with a polarization beam splitter (PBS). By rotating the half-wave plate, a beam splitter with a variable splitting ratio can be achieved.

 

Quarter-wave plate


A waveplate, also known as a phase retarder, is fabricated from birefringent materials. It induces a phase shift between the two mutually orthogonal polarization components passing through it and can be used to adjust the polarization state of the light beam. CNI's waveplates are made of quartz crystals, mainly including half-wave plates and quarter-wave plates. Waveplates with various wavelengths and sizes can be customized.

Polarizing Beam Splitter

Broadband polarization beam splitters (PBS) can effectively perform polarization beam splitting for multiple light sources or tunable light sources. Each polarizer consists of a pair of high-precision right-angle prisms carefully cemented together to minimize wavefront distortion. The hypotenuse of the prisms is coated with a polarization beam-splitting dielectric film, and the four outer surfaces are coated with broadband multi-layer anti-reflective (AR) coatings to reduce surface reflection losses.

Polarization beam splitters split incident unpolarized light into two perpendicular linearly polarized beams: P-polarized light is fully transmitted, while S-polarized light is reflected at a 45° angle with negligible light absorption. The extinction ratio can exceed 500:1. Our broadband polarization beam splitters support four wavelength ranges covering the visible and near-infrared regions, with two available sizes: 12.7 mm and 25.4 mm.
