The 84-485 is a 12.5 x 12.5 mm UVFS UV Plate Beamsplitter, a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This beamsplitter is designed with a 70:30 ratio for reflection to transmission, making it ideal for applications where a majority of the incident light needs to be reflected while still allowing some transmission.
The beamsplitter is made from UVFS material, a unique type of glass specifically designed for use in the ultraviolet spectrum. This makes it suitable for use in applications where the light being split falls within the 250-450nm range. The beamsplitter is just 2mm thick, making it a thin lens, which can be beneficial in certain optical system designs.
The front surface of the beamsplitter is coated with EDM 84-483, a proprietary coating developed by Edmund Optics. This coating enhances the beamsplitter's performance in the UV spectrum, ensuring high reflectivity and transmission rates.
The beamsplitter's geometry is rectangular, with a width of 12.5mm and a height of 12.5mm. This size makes it suitable for use in a wide range of optical systems, from compact designs to larger setups.
