Analysis of the causes of beam splitter mismatch
Due to the design defects and process limitations, polarization distortion in beam splitter is inevitable, which results in the significant errors in the optical systems. g induced by the deviation from the Brewster angle of the incident angle or by the rotation of the incident plane when the PBS is misaligned. The use of beam splitters in scanner systems for additive manufacturing with PBF-LB promises higher possible productivity and a multiplication of the achievable build rate. The optical components can not reach the theoretical design state during assemble process.
