New components are available on the Optics Bench.
- Spectral filters - long-pass, short-pass and band-pass filters transmit the wavelengths in their pass band and absorb the rest. Use them to separate SPDC photon pairs from the pump.
- Right-angle prism - light enters a leg face, reflects off the coated hypotenuse and leaves the other leg: a clean 90 degree fold.
- Retroreflector prism - light enters the hypotenuse, reflects off both legs and returns anti-parallel, offset to one side.
Lasers and detectors are now one-directional too: a laser absorbs light that reaches it from outside, and a detector only counts light arriving at its sensitive face.
