Partially Reflective Coatings
Partially Reflective Coatings: Controlled Light Division
Partially reflective coatings are designed to reflect a specific percentage of light while allowing the remainder to pass through. These coatings are vital in applications like beam splitting and laser output coupling.
Characteristics
-
Reflectance Range: Typically between 10% and 99.7%.
-
Angle of Incidence: Performance can vary with the angle at which light strikes the surface.
-
Wavelength Range: Coatings can be designed for specific wavelength ranges, including UV, visible, and infrared.
Applications
-
Laser Systems: Used in output mirrors to control the amount of light exiting the cavity.
-
Beam Splitters: Divides light into multiple paths for various applications.
-
Optical Instruments: Allows for the combination or separation of light paths.
Implementing partially reflective coatings enables precise control over light paths in optical systems.
