Beam
Splitters:
This makes both beamsplitters with a raster (polka dot) and
with a neutral density mirror
Polka dot:
- Dot size is customer selectable to make the tradoff
between moiré and diffraction
at the dot edges
- Transmission can be anywhere in the 0.1%-92.5% range
- Very accurate and repeatable.
- Very good uniformity across a larger area.
- Light which is not transmitted is reflected, the
reflection is typically 90% of the
covered area. The beamsplitter absorbs a minimum amount of
light/heat.
- The spectral curve is flat from 350nm to >2000nm, solely
depending on the
glass absorption.
Neutral density:
- Thin chrome or aluminium beamsplitters, no interference or
diffraction.
- Light is partially absorbed. For Aluminium, typically 30%
is absorbed
in a 50/50 beamsplitter.
- Accuracy down to approx 2%
- Spectral curve is flat in the visible range for Al, also
in the near IR range
when Chrome is used.
