Overview

The Prism Front-Surface Beam Sampler (PFSA) is a C-mount fixture housing a UV-Grade Fused Silica right angle prism, used for sampling the front surface reflection for high power/energy beam-profiling applications. Reflection at the nominal incidence of 45° is polarization and wavelength dependent.

Single and Dual Prism Front-Surface Beam Samplers

The Front-Surface Beam Sampler is available as either a single prism (PFSA) or dual orthogonal prism (DPFSA) unit. Reflection of the prism at the nominal incidence of 45° is polarization and wavelength dependent, with 532 nm s-polarization reflected at 8.27%, and p-polarization at 0.68% for PFSA. The DPFSA configuration results in polarization independent reflection of 0.057% at 532 nm.

Reflection at λ (nm)	P- Polarization	S- Polarization
248.3	0.88%	9.40%
351.1	0.75%	8.65%
532	0.68%	8.27%
1064	0.64%	8.01%

Other filters and attenuators can be attached using the C-mount female threads at the input end. The use of a right-angle prism to sample the incident beam guarantees that any scattered secondary beams do not interfere with the measurement.
