  • Stereoscopic beam splitter
    Patent number: 8970959
    Abstract: According to certain embodiments, a system includes beamsplitter sets, where each beamsplitter set comprises a first beamsplitter module and a second beamsplitter module aligned with the first beamsplitter module. The first beamsplitter module receives a first beam traveling along a first optical path. The first beamsplitter module splits the first beam into a first output beam transmitted along the first optical path and a first split beam transmitted to the second beamsplitter module along a reflected beam path. The second beamsplitter module receives the first split beam. The second beamsplitter module splits the first split beam into a second output beam transmitted substantially parallel to the reflected beam path and a second split beam transmitted substantially perpendicular to the reflected beam path.
