This 46-706 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 25 x 38 mm and a thickness of 1.5 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 split incoming light beams at a 75:25 ratio, with 75% of the light being reflected and 25% transmitted. This specific model is optimized for use in the 400-700 nm wavelength range, making it a versatile choice for many applications.
The front surface of the beamsplitter is coated with edm 46-666, a proprietary coating developed by Edmund Optics. This coating enhances the beamsplitter's performance by reducing surface reflections and improving transmission. The coating also helps to protect the beamsplitter from environmental factors, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability.
In terms of geometry, the beamsplitter is shaped as a thin lens, which helps to minimize optical aberrations and distortions. This makes it an excellent choice for applications that require high precision and accuracy, such as interferometry, holography, and beam combining.
