This 43-360 Beam Splitter, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a high-quality optical component designed for applications that require precise beam splitting. With a base shape of 50 x 50 mm, it offers a substantial surface area for efficient light manipulation. The beamsplitter is constructed with a thickness of 1mm, providing robustness and durability.
The beamsplitter's coating, edm 45-312, is specifically designed for the wavelength of 588nm, ensuring optimal performance in the specified range of 400-700nm. This coating facilitates a 30:70 (R:T) split, meaning that approximately 30% of the incident light is reflected while 70% is transmitted. This ratio is crucial for applications that require a specific distribution of light.
The beamsplitter's geometry is that of a Thin Lens, which implies that it has a very short focal length or no focal length at all. This feature makes it suitable for use in various optical systems where a thin, lightweight beamsplitter is required.
