Beamsplitter material is inventoried in various sheet thicknesses (0.5 to 3.0mm), for specific wavelength ranges from visible to IR, and in various transmission/reflection ratios. A second-side anti-reflection coating is normally recommended and thus is offered as standard.
Beamsplitter types include:
- Cubes
- Plates
- Pellicles
Reflection vs. Tranmission options:
- 80/20
- 50/50
- 30/70
MidOpt is a major supplier of all the above materials/components to many well-known machine vision lighting manufacturers.
Common Applications
- In-Line Illumination for Microscopy, and inspection of specular objects, such as semiconductor wafers.
- Image Combining for augmented reality applications
