Lobre Products: Beam Splitters
Beam splitters, also known as optical beam dividers, are optical components used to divide an incoming light beam into two or more separate beams.
These optical components are widely used in applications such as laser optical systems for interferometry, spectroscopy and more.
Lobre designs and manufactures custom beam splitters tailored to specific requirements, available in both small batches and large-scale production for clients in Italy and abroad. Depending on the design, the outgoing light beams can be split into different intensity ratios. Common models include 50/50, 70/30 and 80/20 beam splitters.

Custom beam splitters for optical systems
Beam splitters are reliable and versatile optical components used to divide light beams, transmitting and reflecting rays with customisable intensity ratios. These features make them ideal for managing optical paths in a wide range of systems.
There are several types of beam splitters, each with different angles of incidence, polarisation sensitivity and levels of compactness. Among the most common configurations are plate beam splitters/prisms and cube beam splitters/prisms.
Plate Beam Splitters
Plate beam splitters consist of a thin optical glass substrate with a partially reflective coating on one surface, typically designed for a specific angle of incidence (often 45°).
Cube Beam Splitters
Cube beam splitters are made from two precision optical glass prisms bonded together, with a partially reflective coating applied to the hypotenuse of one of these prisms.
Custom Beam Splitters
Custom-designed beam splitters are tailored to meet specific technical requirements: splitting ratios, special coatings, angle of incidence, materials, shapes, dimensions and more.
