A beam bender is an optical device or component that redirects a beam of light, electrons, or other radiation to a specific angle. It typically employs mirrors, prisms, or magnetic or electrostatic fields to achieve the desired deflection. Beam benders are widely used in optics, laser systems, and particle accelerators.
The main types of beam benders include prism-type beam benders and mirror beam benders. A prism-type beam bender redirects a laser or light beam using a precisely shaped prism, typically at a 90-degree angle. These devices operate by utilizing the principles of total internal reflection or refraction to alter the beam's path without significantly changing its properties. They are applied in various fields such as optical communication, optical scanning, optical imaging, optical projection, optical sensors, and more. End-users of these devices include healthcare providers, automotive and manufacturing companies, aerospace and defense organizations, and research institutions.
