Partial Reflectors » Plate Beamsplitters

Plate Beamsplitters divide an incident, monochromatic beam into reflected and transmitted components with the specified intensity ratio.

The plate is coated on one side with a polarization sensitive, partial reflection coating, and on the reverse side with a high efficiency, narrowband, anti-reflection coating.
