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.
Borofloat / Float glass / Clear glass | 3 mm | from 20 x 20 mm to 1,080 x 800 mm |
Borofloat / Float glass / Clear glass | 4 mm | from 20 x 20 mm to 1,080 x 800 mm |
Borofloat / Float glass / Clear glass | 5 mm | from 20 x 20 mm to 1,080 x 800 mm |
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.
For applications in road and flight simulators and teleprompters, light needs to be split into transmission and reflection as colour neutral (achromatic). To prevent double images, the reverse side is anti-reflective.
Our filter types:
Filter types | Transmission | Reflection | |
---|---|---|---|
AT80 | 80±5% | 20±5% | 16 kB |
AT70 | 70±5% | 30±5% | 16 kB |

Our AT40 filters are particularly suitable for colour-neutral light attenuation (without anti-reflection coating on the back).
