[edit] Amplitude vs. Intensity
Do beam splitters split amplitude or intensity? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.112.50.118 (talk) 19:51, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
- Is it true that, for a half-silvered mirror, one half is polarized and one half isn't? If so, it should be added to the article, but I'm not sure...
[edit] Image
Can someone create some kind of image to demonstrate it?
[edit] Like?
Is it something like this?
[edit] Beam spiltters with single mode fiber?????
>Beam spiltters with single mode fiber for PON networks is using the single mode behavior to split the beam. The splitter is done by physically >splicing two fibers "together" as an X.
How is one fiber split 32 times? Can someone explain this process? Is it done by micro-bending, prisms and colors or physically splicing 32 fibers to one?
Also how does it work when the 32 signals return and concentrate into one fiber then to the Central Office?
thank you,

[edit] Disagreement
Unfortunately I can´t completely agree with what is stated for the Technicolor beam splitter: The two halves of the prism block were not coated for dichroic function but with a gold layer which should behave colour neutral, yet still enhancing the longer wavelengths. The actual colour separation was arrived at through filters, a green one and one of purple hue, purple being the half-half mixture of red and blue. The third filter was a red tinted gelatine overcoat on the farther of the two films run in Sandwich manner. Orthochromatic, non sensitized, and panchromatic stock was used for the green, blue, and red portion, respectively. Filmtechniker alias 80.219.85.241 (talk) 18:32, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
