Splitter in a sentence as a noun

I was also the wood splitter sent outside in the winter to take care of that task.

"They have no direct access to our servers"I wonder what a beam splitter consists of. Oh.

One way to create a fiber beam splitter is to take two fibers and fusion-combine them.

Put a splitter/converter after your AV receiver and you're good.

My understanding is that you can use a beam splitter created from two prisms that will split laser light.

Your aim had to be pretty accurate, first marking a groove with an axe and then a few good hits with a log splitter.

A consumer would have attached a Y-splitter in front of his existing cable box and then added this new box in parallel.

There is no reason you couldn't splice the cable through a machine that recorded the signal and then recreated it. Or a beam splitter that removed just a small fraction of the signal; the effect would be a slight increase in transmission loss.

Naturally, the NSA doesn't want repair crews finding their tap-in points!So how do you turn a piece of fiber into a beam-splitter without cutting and splicing?

Enough so that we took some equipment that incorporated such a split in the signal strength, and sent it back to engineering for a 9 month spin to remove such a splitter.

A beam splitter probabilistically reroutes photons from the data stream down a different fiber.

I'm actually a bit curious about this myself...If you want to tap a classical signal traveling down a fiber, you want to turn that fiber into a beam splitter.

While I have no evidence, there are plenty of ways the NSA could collect data along these paths - exploiting bugs in the switches, installing a beam splitter in fiber as it traverses a remote area, etc. etc.
