The 46-071 is a Transmission Grating Beamsplitter, a specialized optical component designed and manufactured by Edmund Optics. This particular model boasts a size of 12.7 x 12.7 x 3 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The grating is made of B270 glass, a high-quality material known for its excellent optical properties. This material is often used in precision optical applications due to its low auto-fluorescence, high damage threshold, and excellent homogeneity.
The grating features 92 grooves per millimeter, offering a high level of detail and precision. The blaze wavelength is 632.8 nm, which is a common wavelength used in many optical systems. The grating is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers of material applied to alter its optical properties.
The grating is designed to be used in transmission mode, where light passes through the grating. The orientation vector is (1,0,0), indicating that the grooves run parallel to the y-axis. The order is -1, which refers to the diffraction order of the grating. The grating side is 'Back', indicating that the grating surface from which the light is diffracted is the back surface of the component.
