OPTICAL COMPONENTS
Spectral Optics provides various optical components in laser applications with wavelengths in deep UV to IR. These optical components include laser mirrors, laser beamsplitters, and various polarization optics as well as basic substrates such as windows and right angle prisms.
You can learn about the fundamental substrates used in our laser optics at Basic Substrates. The standard laser mirrors are listed in the Laser Mirrors category. Various plate and cube beamsplitters can be found in Beam Splitters. A wide selection of polarizing optics is listed in Polarization Optics. The general substrates used in these optical components have the specification as follows.
