Dichroic Beamsplitters
Used at non-normal angles
of incidence, these longpass and shortpass filters highly reflect one
specified spectral region while optimally transmitting another.
Dichroic (DC)
filters provide wide regions of both transmission and reflection.
They exhibit a high degree of polarisation along with a somewhat
shallow transition slope.
Dichroic mirror (DM)
filters feature a steep transition slope, minimum polarization, a
wide region of reflection, and a limited region of transmission.
Dichroic reflector (DR)
filters provide a steep transition slope, low polarization, a wide
region of transmission, and a limited region of reflection. (Figure 5).
