Sagnac Interferometer - Definition and Applications

Article - 4 Feb 2014

The Sagnac interferometer uses counter-propagating beams in a ring path. This is realized by either using multiple mirrors or with an optical fiber. Generally, three or more mirrors are used, so that...
What is an Optical Bandpass Filter?

Article - 12 Jun 2013

Optical bandpass filters are filters that allow only a certain bandwidth of light and block the others above and below the specified bandwidth.
What is a Beam Combiner?

Article - 11 Jun 2013

A beam combiner is essentially an arrangement of beam splitters and mirrors. The function of a beam splitter is to divide the incident light into two paths, one by transmission and another by...
