General Optics

Beam Displacer

Build fiberoptic multiplexing devices - including circulators, WSS, and interleavers - plus high-power isolators for fiber lasers - with our birefringent optics.

Our compact YVO4 beam displacers exhibit high birefringence at 0° incidence, plus high transmission and good thermal and mechanical properties, making them ideal for use as polarization-based beam separators over wavelengths from 500 nm to 5 μm.

Beam Displacer Capabilities

Specify dimensions, operating wavelength, coatings, and optical axis orientation to get the beam separation required for your application.
