Variable Beamsplitter/Attenuator VBA0010-532
A variable beam splitter/attenuator consists of a polarizing beam-splitter prism and a zero-order half-wave plate. Rotating the half-wave plate continuously varies the transmittance of linearly polarized light. For incident linearly polarized light, the transmission/reflection ratio (T:R) varies continuously from 1:99 to 95:1. It is mainly used in holography, interferometry, and related applications.
