Technical layout and fabrication of a compact all-glass four-channel beam splitter based on a Kösters design

Abstract: We report on the design and fabrication of a novel all-glass four-channel beam splitter based on a Kösters prism for use in space. The Kösters prism, which consists of three pairs of individual prisms, is used to separate an incoming telescope beam into four spectral channels (λ = 800–1700 nm) with the goal to obtain a multi-band photometry of cosmic sources in the optical/near-infrared bands. We performed optical design studies to evaluate the influence of geometrical tolerances of the six individual prisms o… Show more

“…The AR coating and the filter coatings are necessary to meet the high requirements on the optical performance of the whole beam splitter setup. 4 A ternary design of the coating system is used to keep the overall coating thickness at 4 µm. SiO 2 serves as low-index material and silicon as high-index material for the beam splitter coating systems.…”

“…A dichroic coating stack is deposited on one side for the spectral splitting required by the optical system, and the AR coating stack is deposited on the other side for the wavelength range of the transmission area. So far, some researchers have reported [12][13][14] on the development of infrared dichroic beamsplitters and obtained excellent research results. A dichroic beamsplitter was designed by Hendrix et al [15]; band separation occurred on the first optically flat surface, and it separated the SWIR and MWIR bands.…”
