Dichroic mirrors are angle-dependent
Dichroic performance changes with angle of incidence and polarization. Confirm AOI before comparing cut-on or reflection bands.
Welcome to OPTOStokes Filters - Precision Optical Solutions The Official Manufacturer of the OPTOStokes Brand at Optofilters.com
Compare dichroic mirrors by transition wavelength, reflection band, transmission band, AOI, and substrate size. These components are used to separate or combine channels in fluorescence and laser systems.
Confirm the angle of incidence first, usually 45 degrees for many beamsplitter layouts. Then match the reflection and transmission bands to excitation and emission paths, and check polarization, substrate thickness, and coating side orientation.
These dichroic mirrors (beamsplitters) are designed for a 45° angle of incidence and separate light by wavelength. They are suited to fluorescence microscopy, laser beam combining, multi-channel imaging, and projector applications. Longpass-type dichroics transmit longer wavelengths and reflect shorter ones.

Dichroic performance changes with angle of incidence and polarization. Confirm AOI before comparing cut-on or reflection bands.
A useful dichroic choice must satisfy both sides of the split: high reflection for one band and high transmission for the other.
For fluorescence, match the dichroic edge to excitation and emission filters as a set, not as an isolated mirror.
It reflects one wavelength range and transmits another, allowing optical systems to split or combine channels by wavelength.
The transition edge shifts with angle and polarization, so the specified AOI must match the instrument design.
Yes. Custom transition wavelengths, reflection/transmission bands, substrate sizes, and AOI targets can be specified.
