Beam splitter / splitter mirror
Beam splitters are optical splitter mirrors in which a defined part of the light is transmitted and the other part is reflected. This is often 50% each, but all other distributions are also possible.
The beam splitter does not heat up nor emits any heat. So, virtually no light is "lost".
This requires the use of high-purity glass, which is why Prinz Optics primarily uses Borofloat.
The picture clearly shows the outstanding colour uniformity in transmission and reflection of the AT60 beam splitter.
This optical filter - beam splitter AT 40 is used for colour-neutral light attenuation.
Glass types and sizes
The beam splitters are offered in the following materials / thicknesses / sizes
In addition, we also provide even smaller filter sizes with less material thickness. We can cut the filters round as well as in any other shape – please see Customised Glass Cutting Service.
