NOTE: ANGLE OF INCIDENCE 55°
- PROTECTED METAL COATING IS A SINGLE DIELECTRIC LAYER ENHANCEMENT.
- ENHANCED METAL COATING IS A MULTI DIELECTRIC COMPLEX.
- BEAMSPLITTER COATINGS FOR THE MONOLITHIC INTERFEROMETERS:
| SUFFIX | COATING CURVES | COATING TYPE (DIELECTRIC) | WAVELENGTH RANGE (nm) | ANGLE OF INCIDENCE 45° PER-SURFACE REFLECTANCE(%) (AVG) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| - | INT05-N | Beamsplitter | 900 - 2500 | 50/50 +/-10 |
| - | INT10-M | Beamsplitter | 2500 - 16000 | 50/50 +/-10 |
- DUE TO LOT VARIATION, AN INCONSISTENCY OF +/- 2% IS EXPECTED.
