QUASI-MONOLITHIC POLARIZATION BEAM SPLITTER ASSEMBLY

摘要

The invention relates to a quasi-monolithic polarization beam splitter assembly for splitting a UV beam into two partial beams, comprising two optical prisms (1) that form a polarization beam splitter (2) and a holding part (6) having no optically effective surfaces, which holding part is connected to the polarization beam splitter (2). The invention also relates to a method for producing such a polarization beam splitter assembly, which is characterized in that even after mounting the polarization beam splitter assembly in an optical mount, the partial beams passing therethrough undergo only a very slight wavefront deformation.
