Beam splitters for dye laser pumping
Abstract
Problems associated with the development of beam splitters for partitioning pump beams for pulsed dye laser systems are discussed. The operating characteristics of two types of splitters are calculated: a wedge type beam splitter and a constant-deviation prism type beam splitter. The effects of beta-angle variation on the performance of the prism type beam splitter are considered.
