| Plate beamsplitters-general-purpose grade (λ/4)
These General-purpose Beamsplitters are considerably lighter and cheaper than traditional cube beamsplitters. And avoid problems with stray back reflected light from entry and exit faces. These General-purpose Beamsplitters are available for use in Visible and Infrared wavelengths. General-purpose grade Beamsplitters are also available in 50/50 or 70/30 ratios.
These General-purpose Beamsplitters have ion-plated dielectric multilayer coatings giving excellent durability and neutrality and are much less affected by temperature changes than ordinary coatings. The back of the Beamsplitters are multilayer AR coated to almost eliminate the spurious reflection. They come in two thicknesses, 1mm for compactness, and 3mm thick float glass, which is less fragile. B270 glass is used for the IR-range to avoid the strong IR absorption of float glass. Typical usage is in laser applications. |
