43-363 254 x 356 mm 30:70 (R:T) Float Glass Standard Plate Beamsplitter; t=3mm 400-700nm

This 43-363 Beam Splitter, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a high-quality optical component designed for applications that require precise beam splitting. With its dimensions of 254 mm in width and 356 mm in height, this rectangular beamsplitter is a sizeable option for various optical setups.

The beamsplitter is made of soda lime glass, a common material in optical applications due to its excellent optical properties and affordability. The glass has a thickness of 3mm, providing rigidity and durability. The beamsplitter is designed to operate within the wavelength range of 400-700nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including but not limited to, fluorescence microscopy, machine vision, and laser applications.

The beamsplitter features a 30:70 (R:T) split ratio, meaning that 30% of the incident light is reflected while 70% is transmitted. This ratio is standard for many optical applications and provides a good balance between reflected and transmitted light. The front surface of the beamsplitter is coated with "edm 45-312," a coating that enhances its optical performance. The back surface is coated with "edm mgf2 std curve," another high-quality coating that contributes to the beamsplitter's overall performance.

In terms of geometry, this beamsplitter is a thin lens, which means it has a very short focal length compared to its diameter. This makes it an ideal choice for applications where a compact, high-performance beamsplitter is required.
