1D Beam Splitter

The Diffractive Beam Splitter (a.k.a Multibeam or dot generator) is a diffractive optical element used to split a single laser beam into several beams, each with the characteristics of the original beam (except for its power and angle of propagation). 

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 its output beams.

1D beam splitters enable parallel processing and are typically use in applications such as laser scribing (for example in solar cells or panels), laser dicing, laser perforation, aesthetic medical applications, 3-D sensing & projection. Read more on the  Multispot Beam Splitter application notes.

HOLO/OR offers an extensive selection of standard 2-D beam splitters as listed below. If you can not find the exact spec required we can design custom elements with your specs as a part of our custom design and manufacturing capabilities.
