Customized Dichroic Beam Splitter

A dichroic beam splitter is an optical device that splits a beam of light into two separate beams based on their wavelengths. The term "dichroic" refers to the property of selectively reflecting or transmitting light based on its color.

In the case of a dichroic beam splitter at 505nm, it means that the beam splitter is designed to reflect or transmit light with a wavelength of 505nm. This specific wavelength is often used in applications such as fluorescence microscopy, laser systems, and optical communication.

The beam splitter achieves this wavelength selectivity by using a combination of thin-film coatings and optical filters. These coatings are designed to have different reflectivity or transmittance properties at different wavelengths, allowing the beam splitter to separate the light based on its color.

For example, a dichroic beam splitter at 505nm may be designed to reflect light with a wavelength of 505nm and transmit light with other wavelengths. This can be useful in applications where it is necessary to separate or combine different colors of light for specific purposes, such as imaging or spectroscopy.

Overall, a dichroic beam splitter at 505nm is an optical component that can split a beam of light based on its wavelength, specifically reflecting or transmitting light with a wavelength of 505nm.
