What is the sub interface for a beam splitter

Many beam splitters have the form of a cube, where the beam separation occurs at an interface within the cube (Figure 2). Such a cube is often made of two triangular glass prisms which are glued together with some transparent resin or cement. Different types of beam splitters exist, as described in the. Beamsplitters are fundamental components in optical engineering, serving to precisely divide a single input beam of light into two distinct output beams. It is a crucial part of many optical experimental and measurement systems, such as interferometers, also finding widespread application in fibre optic telecommunications. These tools can split both laser and regular light.
