45-854 50 x 50 mm 50:50 (R:T) N-BK7 Plate Beamsplitter; t=3mm VIS 400-700nm
The 45-854 is a 50 x 50 mm Plate Beamsplitter, designed with a 50:50 (R:T) ratio, sourced from Edmund Optics. This beamsplitter is specifically engineered for the visible light spectrum, spanning from 400 to 700nm, making it ideal for a wide range of applications within this spectrum.
The beamsplitter is constructed from N-BK7 glass, a popular choice due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. The glass has a thickness of 3mm, providing durability while maintaining a low profile. The rectangular shape, with a width of 50mm and a height of 50mm, allows for precise integration into optical systems.
The front surface of the beamsplitter is coated with EDM 47-021, a coating specifically designed to enhance its performance within the visible light spectrum. This coating ensures a balanced 50:50 (R:T) ratio, meaning the beamsplitter reflects 50% of the incident light and transmits the remaining 50%.
This beamsplitter is classified as a Thin Lens, indicating its ability to focus or disperse light. This feature can be exploited in various applications, adding to the beamsplitter's versatility.
