Optical beamsplitters (plate-type dielectric beamsplitters or beam-splitting optical filters) are precision thin-film optical components designed to divide incident light into two separate output beams (transmitted and reflected) at predetermined intensity ratios or specific wavelength bands.
Functions:
Engineered using multi-layer inorganic dielectric coatings deposited on high-flatness optical glass substrates via PVD-EBGE. They deliver highly controllable, stable transmission-to-reflection splitting ratios (e.g., 50:50, 70:30, 80:20, or custom spectrally non-neutral split ratios) with minimal internal absorption loss, maintaining beam wavefront integrity and high angular tolerance for polarized or unpolarized light engines.
Applications:
Interferometry
Optical beam combiners
Coaxial illumination modules
Biomedical imaging systems
Precision laser guidance systems
Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) machine vision setups

1. Precision plate beamsplitters feature multi-layer dielectric interference coatings comprising 10 to 18 layers vacuum-deposited on Side 1 of high-flatness optical glass substrates to achieve precise transmission-to-reflection ratios.
2. Optional Side 2 anti-reflection (AR) coating: A multi-layer broadband AR coating can be applied to the second surface to suppress back-surface Fresnel reflection from ~4% down to under 0.5%, eliminating ghosting and secondary reflections.
3. Manufactured using Physical Vapor Deposition with Electron Beam Gun Evaporation (PVD-EBGE) technology, ensuring high optical coating density, minimal absorption loss, and superior environmental durability.
4. Spectral transmittance and reflectance curves are calibrated and measured at a standard 45° angle of incidence (AOI).
5. Transmittance curves reflect actual physical sample measurement data and are subject to minor manufacturing tolerances between production lots while remaining strictly within target optical specifications.
