Description
Discover the innovative world of Plate Beamsplitters offered by Rocky Mountain Instrument Co., a leader in precision optics. These advanced optical components are designed to split an incident monochromatic beam into reflected and transmitted components with a specified intensity ratio, ensuring optimal performance in various applications. The sophisticated design includes a polarization-sensitive, partial reflection coating on one side of the plate and a high-efficiency, narrowband, anti-reflection coating on the reverse side. This dual-coating technique enhances the beamsplitter's efficiency and effectiveness, making it a crucial element in optical systems.
At Rocky Mountain Instrument Co., we pride ourselves on using high-quality materials such as BK7, UVFS, FS, ZnSe, Ge, and Chalcogenide glass. Each material is carefully selected to meet the stringent demands of optical precision. Our plate beamsplitters are meticulously crafted with an angle of incidence at 45º, ensuring optimal performance. The surface figure specifications are impressive, with BK7, UVFS, and FS materials achieving λ/20 at 632 nm, while ZnSe, Ge, and Chalcogenide glass achieve λ/40 at 10.6 μm, highlighting the exceptional surface quality and precision engineering involved in their production.
Rocky Mountain Instrument Co. is committed to delivering products that meet the highest standards of quality and precision. Our plate beamsplitters are manufactured with tight tolerances, including diameter and thickness tolerances, as well as precise wedge and bevel specifications. The clear aperture is maintained at the central 85% of the diameter, ensuring maximum utility and performance. With anti-reflection coatings that achieve R ≤ 0.5% at 45º for unpolarized light, our beamsplitters are designed to minimize reflection losses and enhance transmission efficiency.
Our collaborative approach with customers ensures that even the most technically challenging requirements are met with innovative solutions. By working closely with clients from the early stages of development, we transform prototype concepts into efficient, manufacturable solutions. Experience the precision and reliability of Rocky Mountain Instrument Co.'s plate beamsplitters, and let us help you achieve your optical goals.
