This 46-643 Beam Splitter, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a high-quality optical component designed for applications that require precise beam splitting. The beamsplitter features a rectangular base shape with dimensions of 75 x 75 mm and a thickness of 1 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical systems.
The beamsplitter is made of soda lime ru clear material, a common choice for its excellent optical properties and durability. It is designed to operate within the wavelength range of 400-700nm, encompassing a broad spectrum of visible light.
The beamsplitter's coating is a key feature, with the front surface coated with edm 45-314 and the back surface coated with edm mgf2 std curve. This specific coating configuration results in a 70:30 (R:T) split, where approximately 70% of the incident light is reflected and 30% is transmitted. This ratio is often used in applications where a significant portion of the light needs to be reflected while still maintaining some transmission.
The beamsplitter's shape is classified as a Thin Lens, which implies that it has been designed to minimize optical aberrations and distortions. This feature is crucial in applications that require high-precision optical alignment and beam manipulation.
