Shimadzu optical device for polychromatic light source splitting and as a substitute for monochromator sector mirrors
Features
- Wide wavelength range from UV to IR
- Low dependence on angle of incidence
- Two types available: standard (to 2200 nm) and high-grade (to 3200 nm) types
Polka-Dot Beamsplitters comprise a glass substrate with an aluminum coating in a polka-dot pattern. Incident light is reflected from the coated areas but transmitted through the non-coated areas. This splitting mechanism achieves a light split ratio that is almost independent of the light angle of incidence, unlike dielectric beamsplitters.
Shimadzu Polka-Dot Beamsplitters are based on a synthetic quartz substrate that permits application across a wide wavelength range from the ultraviolet to the infrared.

- *1: For example, "T70/R30" indicates a light ratio of 70% transmittance(T) and 30% reflectance(R).
