Reflective Achromatic Fiber Collimators uses a 90⁰ off-axis ellipsoidal mirror to couple free space laser beam into fiber or vice versa. Focal length of reflective mirror is irrelevant with wavelength. That makes it an idea solution to achromatic aberration. Al, Ag and Au is optional to be deposited as reflective film.
- Aluminum averages greater than 90% reflectance from 200nm to the far infrared, except in the 750 – 900nm region where it averages around 85% reflectance.
- Silver coatings can offer better performance in the visible and NIR from 450nm to 2μm.
- For IR performance gold coatings offer high reflectivity of around 97% from 700nm up to 10μm.

Single mode pigtailed fiber collimators are used to transform the laser emitted from fiber into a parallel Gaussian beam by finely positioning the lens to fiber or couple the parallel Gaussian beam into fiber in inverse. It can be used in reflective type and thrubeam type. Normally, a sphere lens or GRIN lens is used in collimator to transform light. It can be divided into specified working distance collimators and wide working distance range collimators.

It's used in telemetry, illumination, lidar and so on, which project laser to remote distance. Multi-groups air-spaced lenses are used to optimize the power distribution. The beam spot is homogeneous and has clear board line.
-
Zoom fiber collimators can change beam size continuously while keeping beam pattern homogeneous and clear. It works like zoom lenses of camera, instead of only adjusting separation distance between lenses and fiber as focus adjustable fiber collimators. Beam quality is much better than focus adjusting. It can be used in telemetry, illumination, lidar and so on.

Broadband Non-Polarizing Cube Beamsplitters are made up of a pair of high precision right angle prisms cemented together by a metallic dielectric coating on one of the prisms’ hypotenuse. Because of the metallic dielectric hybrid coating's low polarization dependence, the transmission and reflection of S- and P-polarization states can be within 10% of each other. These beamsplitters are spectrally flat across their specified wavelength ranges, which reduces the effects of changes in angle of incidence or converging/diverging beams. Metallic dielectric hybrid coating has <10% absorption, so don’t use it in high power laser.

Beamsplitters are used for separating or merging light beams. The two common forms Z-OPTICS LIMITED offers are Plates and cubes. Cubes are a simple, safe shape for applications with low power rates. The efficiency of beamsplitters depends largely on the parameters for the coating.

The Caf2 (Calcium Fluoride) Wedge Beamsplitter is a cutting-edge optical component that has garnered significant attention across various scientific, industrial, and laser-based applications. This is meticulously designed to bifurcate incoming light into two separate beams, each with a predetermined ratio of reflected and transmitted light, making it an indispensable tool for precision light management within optical systems. The brilliance of the Caf2 Wedge Beamsplitter lies in its utilization of high-quality Calcium Fluoride, a material renowned for its exceptional optical properties. Calcium Fluoride is prized for its broad spectral transmission range, extending from the ultraviolet (UV) to the infrared (IR) regions, and its low refractive index. These attributes make it a superior choice for applications where optimal spectral transparency is essential. The wedge-shaped configuration of this beamsplitter introduces a gradual change in thickness across its surface, enabling precise control of the splitting ratio. This feature is particularly advantageous in applications such as interferometry and laser systems, where maintaining the phase and power of optical beams is paramount. The Caf2 Wedge Beamsplitter's precision and consistency empower researchers and engineers to achieve the level of accuracy demanded by their experiments and projects.

Brewster Windows are windows that are meant to be used at Brewster's angle (usually uncoated). This is the angle at which only incident p-polarized light has 0% transmission loss. Instead of exterior mirrors, a Brewster window is an uncoated substrate positioned at Brewster's angle within a laser. This substrate works as a polarizer, allowing p-polarized light to enter and exit the window without reflection losses while reflecting s-polarized light. Features
