BAE14506 100 x 145 mm 50:50 (R:T) White Float Glass Standard Plate Beamsplitter; t=1.1mm 450-700nm

This is a 100 x 145 mm 50:50 (R:T) Beamsplitter, specifically the BAE14506 model from Knight Optical. It is designed for use in the visible light spectrum, between 450 and 700 nanometers. The beamsplitter is made of white float glass, a type of soda lime glass that is known for its clarity and durability.

The beamsplitter has a thickness of 1.1mm, making it a thin BS type. This thinness allows for minimal distortion and scattering of light, which is crucial in many optical applications. The beamsplitter is rectangular in shape, with a width of 100mm and a length of 145mm, providing a large surface area for light to interact with.

The beamsplitter features a 50:50 (R:T) coating, meaning it reflects 50% of the incoming light and transmits the other 50%. This coating is applied to both the front and back surfaces of the beamsplitter, ensuring consistent performance regardless of the direction of the incoming light. The front surface coating is Kni BV1, while the back surface coating is Kni AV2.

The beamsplitter's physical data indicates that the reflection and transmission coefficients are both 0.5, further confirming the 50:50 (R:T) nature of this optical component. This beamsplitter is currently in stock and available for purchase through the Knight Optical website.
