Plate beamsplitters Plate beamsplitters consist of a thin plate of optical crown glass with a different type of coating deposited on each side. The first surface is coated with an all-dielectric film having partial reflection properties over either the visible or the near-infrared spectrum. The benefit of this type of coating is that it has low absorption, typically 0.5 percent for a 50/50 splitter at 45°. The second surface has an antireflection coating optimized for 45°. The transmittance and reflectance curves shown in Figures 1 through 6 are for unpolarized inputs at an...Read full article
