46-668 25 x 38 mm 40:60 (R:T) Float Glass Standard Plate Beamsplitter; t=3mm 400-700nm

This 46-668 Beam Splitter, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a high-quality optical component designed for applications that require precise beam splitting. The beamsplitter measures 25 x 38 mm and has a thickness of 3mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical systems.

The beamsplitter is made of soda lime ru clear glass, a common material in optical applications due to its excellent transparency and durability. It features a 40:60 (R:T) beam splitting ratio, meaning that approximately 40% of the incident light is reflected while 60% is transmitted. This ratio is standard and widely used in various applications.

The front surface of the beamsplitter is coated with EDM 46-665, a proprietary coating developed by Edmund Optics. This coating enhances the beam splitting performance and ensures consistent results over time. The back surface, on the other hand, is coated with EDM MGF2 STD CURVE, another high-quality coating that further improves the beamsplitter's performance.

The beamsplitter's coating is designed to work within the wavelength range of 400-700nm, making it suitable for applications that use visible light. This wavelength range covers a significant portion of the visible light spectrum, ensuring that the beamsplitter can be used in a wide range of applications.

In terms of geometry, the beamsplitter is rectangular, a common shape for beam splitters due to its versatility and ease of integration into optical systems. The beamsplitter's thin lens shape further enhances its performance and ease of use.
