 LightMachinery Introduces the Universal Beam Splitter
The engineering team at LightMachinery Inc. has developed one of the most useful devices for any laser laboratory - The Universal Beam Splitter. The UBS mounts in any standard 1" diameter mirror mount and behaves like a very low loss non-polarizing beam splitter cube with the added benefit that the reflectivity of the beam splitter can be adjusted from 1% to 90% for any wavelength. As the UBS is rotated, the transmitted and reflected beams remain at 90 degrees. A simple marvel of optical engineering.
