The 68-395 is a high-quality beam splitter from Edmund Optics, designed for use in the visible light spectrum, specifically between 400 and 700nm. This beam splitter is rectangular in shape, with dimensions of 50 x 75 mm, and has a thickness of 3mm, providing excellent stability and durability.
The beam splitter is made from N-BK7 glass, a popular material in optical systems due to its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. The N-BK7 Schott material ID ensures that the glass meets the stringent quality standards set by Schott, a leading manufacturer of optical glass.
The beam splitter features a 40:60 (R:T) split ratio, meaning that 40% of the incident light is reflected, while 60% is transmitted. This split ratio is achieved through the use of a specialized coating, edm 68-381, which is applied to the front surface of the beam splitter. This coating is specifically designed to operate in the visible light spectrum, ensuring optimal performance.
The beam splitter's thin lens shape allows for easy integration into optical systems, while its robust construction ensures long-term reliability.
