The 45-852 is a 25 mm diameter beamsplitter, specifically designed for the visible light spectrum, spanning from 400 to 700 nm. This beamsplitter is a product of Edmund Optics, a renowned vendor in the optical industry, and its detailed specifications can be found at https://www.edmundoptics.com/p/25mm-dia-50r50t-vis-plate-beamsplitter/6279/.
This beamsplitter is of the Thin BS subtype, constructed from N-BK7 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties. The beamsplitter has a base shape of a circle, with a diameter of 25 mm and a thickness of 3 mm.
The coating on the front surface of the beamsplitter is EDM 47-021, which contributes to its functionality. The beamsplitter is designed to reflect 50% of the incident light and transmit 50% of the incident light, making it a 50:50 beamsplitter in terms of reflection and transmission.
The beamsplitter's physical data indicates that its reflection and transmission coefficients are both 0.5, further emphasizing its 50:50 nature. This beamsplitter, with its specifications and properties, is an excellent choice for applications that require a balanced split of visible light.
