Features

• Shortpass Dichroic Mirror with Minimal Absorption Losses
• 25 mm x 36 mm Filter
• Hard Coating Allows Easy Handling and Cleaning
• Resistant to Damage from UV Light and Chemicals

A dichroic mirror/beamsplitter functions as a 50:50 beamsplitter at its design wavelength, known as the cutoff wavelength. Thorlabs' DMSP1000T Shortpass Dichroic Mirror/Beamsplitter has a 1000 nm cutoff wavelength and provides >90% average reflection from 1020 - 1550 nm and >90% average transmission from 520 - 985 nm. It has a 25 mm x 36 mm size and is designed for use at a 45° incident angle.

Our dichroic mirrors/beamsplitters feature a dichroic coating on one surface and an antireflection coating on the opposing surface. The surface with the dichroic coating is engraved with the part number.

Dichroic mirrors/beamsplitters can be used to combine a beam that has a wavelength (or wavelength range) shorter than the design wavelength with a beam that has a wavelength (or wavelength range) longer than the design wavelength while minimizing intensity losses. Alternatively, spatially overlapping beams of different colors can be split with a single optic. This feature is commonly used in fluorescence microscopy to prevent light of the excitation wavelength from reaching the imaging detector.
