The first surface is coated with an all-dielectric film having partial reflection properties over either the visible or the near-infrared spectrum. The benefit of this type of coating is that it has low absorption,
In an achromatic beam splitter, both beams have identical SPD. In a colour-sensitive beam splitter, one part of the spectrum is reflected while the other part is transmitted and the two beams vary in SPD.
Cube beamsplitters are constructed using two typically right angle prisms (Figure 1). The hypotenuse surface of one prism is coated, and the two prisms are cemented together so that they form a cubic
Beam splitters are devices for splitting a laser beam into two or more beams. There are different types, including polarizing and non-polarizing versions.

The cube-type beam splitter is a stable beam splitter that utilises mechanical characteristics. It is made by joining the inclined surfaces of two right-angle prisms, and a thin film coating is applied to the
The top splitter is the TwinCam, using a single mirror splitter to allow up to two cameras on one microscope port. The bottom splitter is the MultiCam, using two mirror splitters to allow up to four
These beam splitters divide the incoming light into two beams with different polarizations. You have to be careful when orienting these beam splitters to determine which polarization (S- or P-)
In general, a metallic or dielectric film is deposited on the first surface (facing the incident illumination) of the beamsplitter plate, while an antireflection coating is applied to the back (Figure 1).
