AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on developing a device to split a single laser beam into multiple beams. The original poster considers using a specifically shaped crystal for this purpose but is unsure where to obtain or create such a crystal. They also mention the possibility of altering cubic zirconia but lack guidance on how to proceed. A suggestion was made to research existing beam-splitting mirrors, which led to the poster finding useful information. The conversation highlights the need for resources and knowledge in laser technology and optics.

Hi,

I am looking to develop a device that would take a single laser beam, and split that one beam into x number of new beams and I was wondering if anyone knew how I could accomplish this.

I was thinking I would need some kind of crystal specifically shaped to produce the results I need. The problem with that is I am not sure where I would get such a crystal developed. I was hoping I could take some kind of cheap cubic zirconia and alter it myself, but again I've no idea where I would start.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you done a web search on beam splitting? Such mirrors are in common use.
 
Thank you for your quick reply - I've now done some searching and I know where the next step is.

Thanks again,

Thread 'Simple math model for a Particle Image Velocimetry system'

Hello togehter, I am new to this forum and hope this post followed all the guidelines here (I tried to summarized my issue as clean as possible, two pictures are attached). I would appreciate every help: I am doing research on a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system. For this I want to set a simple math model for the system. I hope you can help me out. Regarding this I have 2 main Questions. 1. I am trying to find a math model which is describing what is happening in a simple Particle...

Thread 'Pentaprism with magnification, which surface is curved?'

I would like to use a pentaprism with some amount of magnification. The pentaprism will be used to reflect a real image at 90 degrees angle but I also want the reflected image to appear larger. The distance between the prism and the real image is about 70cm. The pentaprism has two reflecting sides (surfaces) with mirrored coating and two refracting sides. I understand that one of the four sides needs to be curved (spherical curvature) to achieve the magnification effect. But which of the...
