Beam Splitter Settings

Transmitted Parameters

transmittedcomponent

Transmitted Component X – The fraction of the optical field amplitude in the X-direction incident upon the beam splitter that is transmitted.

Transmitted Component Y – The fraction of the optical field amplitude in the Y-direction incident upon the beam splitter that is transmitted.

Reflected Parameters

reflectededcomponent

Reflected Component X – The fraction of the optical field amplitude in the X-direction incident upon the beam splitter that is reflected.

Reflected Component Y – The fraction of the optical field amplitude in the Y-direction incident upon the beam splitter that is reflected.

The values for the reflected and transmitted components may be real or imaginary. Also, the range of values that can be used is from negative infinity to infinity.

Note: To get the power transmission/reflection for the beam splitter in the X and Y directions, square the transmitted/reflected components in the X and Y directions.
