9 | **Lens** _Bi-Convex 50mm Focal Length_ | | The lens is used to diverge the beam of laser light in order to illuminate a larger area of the screen and thereby to obtain an interference pattern consisting of light and dark rings (constructive or destructive interference, respectively). Without a lens, the laser would create only one spot on the screen, which is either very bright (constructive interference) or completely gone (destructive interference). |
10 | **Beam Splitter** _50:50 Cube Beam Splitter_ | | The beam splitter is a partially reflective surface that splits the incoming beam of light into two separate beams, known as the reference beam and the sample beam. This cube beam splitter is made up of two prisms that are cemented together. |
