This 68-420 Beam Splitter, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a high-quality optical element designed for use in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, specifically between 700 and 1100 nanometers. The beamsplitter is rectangular in shape, with dimensions of 12.5 x 17.5 mm, and has a thickness of 3mm.
The beamsplitter is made from N-BK7, a popular optical glass from Schott, which is known for its excellent optical properties and wide transparency range. This material makes the beamsplitter well-suited for a variety of applications, including laser systems, interferometry, and imaging systems.
The beamsplitter features an 80:20 (R:T) split ratio, meaning that approximately 80% of the incident light is reflected, while the remaining 20% is transmitted. This ratio is consistent across the specified NIR wavelength range. The coating on the front surface of the beamsplitter is EDM 68-418, which contributes to its specific reflectance and transmittance characteristics.
The beamsplitter's physical data indicates a reflection of 0.8 and a transmission of 0.2, further confirming its 80:20 split ratio. This beamsplitter is currently in stock, according to the vendor's website, making it readily available for your optical system needs.
