Ослабитель лазерного излучения на основе четырех призм Дове

Abstract

The configuration of attenuator based on four Dove prisms providing the design compactness and significantly simplifying the alignment and assembly are considered. It is shown that the most successful configuration of attenuator is with parallel in pairs reflecting surfaces of prisms. This configuration preserves the direction of beam propagation and provides the intermediate beam to control the polarization of the incident radiation and its attenuation coefficient during attenuator calibration.
