Thorlabs' Dichroic Mirrors/Beamsplitters spectrally separate light by transmitting and reflecting light as a function of wavelength. Longpass dichroic mirrors have a transmission and reflection band that are divided by a cut-on wavelength. This type of dichroic is highly reflective below the cut-on wavelength and highly transmissive above it. We also offer a multi-band dichroic mirror that can be used as a longpass mirror. This dichroic has two transmission bands and one reflection band that are separated by a cutoff and cut-on wavelength. It is highly transmissive below the cutoff wavelength and above the cut-on wavelength, while highly reflective between the cutoff and cut-on.
Our longpass dichroic mirrors are offered in several different cut-on wavelengths ranging from 425 to 1800 nm, which are listed in the selection guide graphic to the right. These mirrors are designed for use at a 45° angle of incidence and are available in five sizes: Ø1/2", Ø1", Ø2", 25 mm x 36 mm, and 35 mm x 52 mm. Please see below for transmission and reflection plots of each mirror.
These optics feature a dichroic coating on one surface and an antireflection coating on the opposing surface. We recommend orienting the optic as illustrated in the diagram to the upper right. On round optics, an engraved arrow points toward the surface with the AR coating; on the 25 mm x 36 mm rectangular optics, the side with the engraving has the dichroic coating. The 35 mm x 52 mm dichroic mirrors feature a caret on the side that points towards the AR-coated surface.
For thermally sensitive applications, Thorlabs offers hot and cold mirrors. We also offer shortpass dichroic mirrors, which are highly reflective above the cutoff wavelength and highly transmissive below it.
Applications
As shown in the Applications tab, these optics can be used to combine a beam that has a wavelength (or wavelength range) shorter than the cut-on wavelength with a beam that has a wavelength (or wavelength range) longer than the cut-on wavelength. They are also commonly used to split spatially overlapping beams of different colors.
Longpass dichroic mirrors are commonly used in fluorescence microscopy. Excitation light is reflected by the dichroic mirror into the objective, and the emitted fluorescence (which has a longer wavelength than the excitation wavelength) is transmitted through the dichroic mirror into the scientific camera or photomultiplier tube (PMT). Residual excitation light that is back-reflected or scattered by the sample will be reflected a second time by the dichroic mirror, preventing it from reaching the camera or PMT and causing spurious signals.
Surface Quality and Durability
Thorlabs' Dichroic Mirrors/Beamsplitters consist of a hard, ion-beam-sputtered coating deposited on a UV fused silica substrate, providing excellent transparency over the operating wavelength range, virtually zero autofluorescence, and a low coefficient of thermal expansion, making them an ideal choice for applications from the UV to the near IR. The hard coatings themselves have a 40-20 scratch-dig surface quality and allow the optics to be cleaned and handled like typical glass. As opposed to soft coatings, they have improved resistance to humidity effects and can withstand high optical irradiation intensities with no noticeable degradation or burns, even under prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light. Please see the Damage Thresholds tab for detailed information on the damage thresholds of these filters.
Mounting Options
For customers who wish to use these dichroic mirrors/beamsplitters in microscopy applications, Thorlabs manufactures a family of filter cubes and mounts. The Cerna® Breadboard Top with Two-Position Slider can be used to mount the 35 mm x 52 mm dichroics for DIY microscopy. Additionally, the 25 mm x 36 mm rectangular dichroics can be mounted in the KM2536 Kinematic Mount.

Typical Applications for Dichroic Mirrors/Beamsplitters
- Fluorescence Microscopy
- Splitting or Combining Two Beams of Different Wavelengths
- Filtering of Spectral Components
Ray Diagram Illustration
Figure 1 depicts a dichroic mirror/beamsplitter being used to combine a transmitted beam (blue) with a reflected beam (red). The transmitted beam has a wavelength in the transmission band of the optic, and the reflected beam has a wavelength in the reflection band of the optic. If the direction of propagation is reversed, the optic becomes a beamsplitter, as shown in Figure 2.
In both cases, the combined, polychromatic beam is on the dichroic coated side of the dichroic filter. To better direct the reflection, we recommend orienting them such that the wavelength being reflected does not pass through the substrate. Dichroic mirrors/beamsplitters differ from typical beamsplitters in that the beams can be combined or separated without a significant loss of intensity.

Laser Induced Damage Threshold Tutorial
The following is a general overview of how laser induced damage thresholds are measured and how the values may be utilized in determining the appropriateness of an optic for a given application. When choosing optics, it is important to understand the Laser Induced Damage Threshold (LIDT) of the optics being used. The LIDT for an optic greatly depends on the type of laser you are using. Continuous wave (CW) lasers typically cause damage from thermal effects (absorption either in the coating or in the substrate). Pulsed lasers, on the other hand, often strip electrons from the lattice structure of an optic before causing thermal damage. Note that the guideline presented here assumes room temperature operation and optics in new condition (i.e., within scratch-dig spec, surface free of contamination, etc.). Because dust or other particles on the surface of an optic can cause damage at lower thresholds, we recommend keeping surfaces clean and free of debris. For more information on cleaning optics, please see our Optics Cleaning tutorial.
Testing Method
Thorlabs' LIDT testing is done in compliance with ISO/DIS 11254 and ISO 21254 specifications.
First, a low-power/energy beam is directed to the optic under test. The optic is exposed in 10 locations to this laser beam for 30 seconds (CW) or for a number of pulses (pulse repetition frequency specified). After exposure, the optic is examined by a microscope (~100X magnification) for any visible damage. The number of locations that are damaged at a particular power/energy level is recorded. Next, the power/energy is either increased or decreased and the optic is exposed at 10 new locations. This process is repeated until damage is observed. The damage threshold is then assigned to be the highest power/energy that the optic can withstand without causing damage. A histogram such as that below represents the testing of one BB1-E02 mirror.

The photograph above is a protected aluminum-coated mirror after LIDT testing. In this particular test, it handled 0.43 J/cm2 (1064 nm, 10 ns pulse, 10 Hz, Ø1.000 mm) before damage.

Example Test Data | |||
---|---|---|---|
Fluence | # of Tested Locations | Locations with Damage | Locations Without Damage |
1.50 J/cm2 | 10 | 0 | 10 |
1.75 J/cm2 | 10 | 0 | 10 |
2.00 J/cm2 | 10 | 0 | 10 |
2.25 J/cm2 | 10 | 1 | 9 |
3.00 J/cm2 | 10 | 1 | 9 |
5.00 J/cm2 | 10 | 9 | 1 |
According to the test, the damage threshold of the mirror was 2.00 J/cm2 (532 nm, 10 ns pulse, 10 Hz, Ø0.803 mm). Please keep in mind that these tests are performed on clean optics, as dirt and contamination can significantly lower the damage threshold of a component. While the test results are only representative of one coating run, Thorlabs specifies damage threshold values that account for coating variances.
Continuous Wave and Long-Pulse Lasers
When an optic is damaged by a continuous wave (CW) laser, it is usually due to the melting of the surface as a result of absorbing the laser's energy or damage to the optical coating (antireflection) [1]. Pulsed lasers with pulse lengths longer than 1 µs can be treated as CW lasers for LIDT discussions.
When pulse lengths are between 1 ns and 1 µs, laser-induced damage can occur either because of absorption or a dielectric breakdown (therefore, a user must check both CW and pulsed LIDT). Absorption is either due to an intrinsic property of the optic or due to surface irregularities; thus LIDT values are only valid for optics meeting or exceeding the surface quality specifications given by a manufacturer. While many optics can handle high power CW lasers, cemented (e.g., achromatic doublets) or highly absorptive (e.g., ND filters) optics tend to have lower CW damage thresholds. These lower thresholds are due to absorption or scattering in the cement or metal coating.
LIDT in linear power density vs. pulse length and spot size. For long pulses to CW, linear power density becomes a constant with spot size. This graph was obtained from [1].
![Intensity Distribution](https://www.thorlabs.de/images/TabImages/Pulsed_Laser_Intensity_Distribution-390.gif)
Pulsed lasers with high pulse repetition frequencies (PRF) may behave similarly to CW beams. Unfortunately, this is highly dependent on factors such as absorption and thermal diffusivity, so there is no reliable method for determining when a high PRF laser will damage an optic due to thermal effects. For beams with a high PRF both the average and peak powers must be compared to the equivalent CW power. Additionally, for highly transparent materials, there is little to no drop in the LIDT with increasing PRF.
In order to use the specified CW damage threshold of an optic, it is necessary to know the following:
- Wavelength of your laser
- Beam diameter of your beam (1/e2)
- Approximate intensity profile of your beam (e.g., Gaussian)
- Linear power density of your beam (total power divided by 1/e2 beam diameter)
Thorlabs expresses LIDT for CW lasers as a linear power density measured in W/cm. In this regime, the LIDT given as a linear power density can be applied to any beam diameter; one does not need to compute an adjusted LIDT to adjust for changes in spot size, as demonstrated by the graph to the right. Average linear power density can be calculated using the equation below.
The calculation above assumes a uniform beam intensity profile. You must now consider hotspots in the beam or other non-uniform intensity profiles and roughly calculate a maximum power density. For reference, a Gaussian beam typically has a maximum power density that is twice that of the uniform beam (see lower right).
Now compare the maximum power density to that which is specified as the LIDT for the optic. If the optic was tested at a wavelength other than your operating wavelength, the damage threshold must be scaled appropriately. A good rule of thumb is that the damage threshold has a linear relationship with wavelength such that as you move to shorter wavelengths, the damage threshold decreases (i.e., a LIDT of 10 W/cm at 1310 nm scales to 5 W/cm at 655 nm):
While this rule of thumb provides a general trend, it is not a quantitative analysis of LIDT vs wavelength. In CW applications, for instance, damage scales more strongly with absorption in the coating and substrate, which does not necessarily scale well with wavelength. While the above procedure provides a good rule of thumb for LIDT values, please contact Tech Support if your wavelength is different from the specified LIDT wavelength. If your power density is less than the adjusted LIDT of the optic, then the optic should work for your application.
Please note that we have a buffer built in between the specified damage thresholds online and the tests which we have done, which accommodates variation between batches. Upon request, we can provide individual test information and a testing certificate. The damage analysis will be carried out on a similar optic (customer's optic will not be damaged). Testing may result in additional costs or lead times. Contact Tech Support for more information.
Pulsed Lasers
As previously stated, pulsed lasers typically induce a different type of damage to the optic than CW lasers. Pulsed lasers often do not heat the optic enough to damage it; instead, pulsed lasers produce strong electric fields capable of inducing dielectric breakdown in the material. Unfortunately, it can be very difficult to compare the LIDT specification of an optic to your laser. There are multiple regimes in which a pulsed laser can damage an optic and this is based on the laser's pulse length. The highlighted columns in the table below outline the relevant pulse lengths for our specified LIDT values.
Pulses shorter than 10-9 s cannot be compared to our specified LIDT values with much reliability. In this ultra-short-pulse regime various mechanics, such as multiphoton-avalanche ionization, take over as the predominate damage mechanism [2]. In contrast, pulses between 10-7 s and 10-4 s may cause damage to an optic either because of dielectric breakdown or thermal effects. This means that both CW and pulsed damage thresholds must be compared to the laser beam to determine whether the optic is suitable for your application.
Pulse Duration | t < 10-9 s | 10-9 < t < 10-7 s | 10-7 < t < 10-4 s | t > 10-4 s |
---|---|---|---|---|
Damage Mechanism | Avalanche Ionization | Dielectric Breakdown | Dielectric Breakdown or Thermal | Thermal |
Relevant Damage Specification | No Comparison (See Above) | Pulsed | Pulsed and CW | CW |
When comparing an LIDT specified for a pulsed laser to your laser, it is essential to know the following:
LIDT in energy density vs. pulse length and spot size. For short pulses, energy density becomes a constant with spot size. This graph was obtained from [1].
- Wavelength of your laser
- Energy density of your beam (total energy divided by 1/e2 area)
- Pulse length of your laser
- Pulse repetition frequency (prf) of your laser
- Beam diameter of your laser (1/e2 )
- Approximate intensity profile of your beam (e.g., Gaussian)
The energy density of your beam should be calculated in terms of J/cm2. The graph to the right shows why expressing the LIDT as an energy density provides the best metric for short pulse sources. In this regime, the LIDT given as an energy density can be applied to any beam diameter; one does not need to compute an adjusted LIDT to adjust for changes in spot size. This calculation assumes a uniform beam intensity profile. You must now adjust this energy density to account for hotspots or other nonuniform intensity profiles and roughly calculate a maximum energy density. For reference a Gaussian beam typically has a maximum energy density that is twice that of the 1/e2 beam.
Now compare the maximum energy density to that which is specified as the LIDT for the optic. If the optic was tested at a wavelength other than your operating wavelength, the damage threshold must be scaled appropriately [3]. A good rule of thumb is that the damage threshold has an inverse square root relationship with wavelength such that as you move to shorter wavelengths, the damage threshold decreases (i.e., a LIDT of 1 J/cm2 at 1064 nm scales to 0.7 J/cm2 at 532 nm):
You now have a wavelength-adjusted energy density, which you will use in the following step.
Beam diameter is also important to know when comparing damage thresholds. While the LIDT, when expressed in units of J/cm², scales independently of spot size; large beam sizes are more likely to illuminate a larger number of defects which can lead to greater variances in the LIDT [4]. For data presented here, a <1 mm beam size was used to measure the LIDT. For beams sizes greater than 5 mm, the LIDT (J/cm2) will not scale independently of beam diameter due to the larger size beam exposing more defects.
The pulse length must now be compensated for. The longer the pulse duration, the more energy the optic can handle. For pulse widths between 1 - 100 ns, an approximation is as follows:
Use this formula to calculate the Adjusted LIDT for an optic based on your pulse length. If your maximum energy density is less than this adjusted LIDT maximum energy density, then the optic should be suitable for your application. Keep in mind that this calculation is only used for pulses between 10-9 s and 10-7 s. For pulses between 10-7 s and 10-4 s, the CW LIDT must also be checked before deeming the optic appropriate for your application.
Please note that we have a buffer built in between the specified damage thresholds online and the tests which we have done, which accommodates variation between batches. Upon request, we can provide individual test information and a testing certificate. Contact Tech Support for more information.

In order to illustrate the process of determining whether a given laser system will damage an optic, a number of example calculations of laser induced damage threshold are given below. For assistance with performing similar calculations, we provide a spreadsheet calculator that can be downloaded by clicking the button to the right. To use the calculator, enter the specified LIDT value of the optic under consideration and the relevant parameters of your laser system in the green boxes. The spreadsheet will then calculate a linear power density for CW and pulsed systems, as well as an energy density value for pulsed systems. These values are used to calculate adjusted, scaled LIDT values for the optics based on accepted scaling laws. This calculator assumes a Gaussian beam profile, so a correction factor must be introduced for other beam shapes (uniform, etc.). The LIDT scaling laws are determined from empirical relationships; their accuracy is not guaranteed. Remember that absorption by optics or coatings can significantly reduce LIDT in some spectral regions. These LIDT values are not valid for ultrashort pulses less than one nanosecond in duration.
![Intensity Distribution](https://www.thorlabs.de/images/TabImages/Pulsed_Laser_Intensity_Distribution-390.gif)
A Gaussian beam profile has about twice the maximum intensity of a uniform beam profile.
CW Laser Example
Suppose that a CW laser system at 1319 nm produces a 0.5 W Gaussian beam that has a 1/e2 diameter of 10 mm. A naive calculation of the average linear power density of this beam would yield a value of 0.5 W/cm, given by the total power divided by the beam diameter:
However, the maximum power density of a Gaussian beam is about twice the maximum power density of a uniform beam, as shown in the graph to the right. Therefore, a more accurate determination of the maximum linear power density of the system is 1 W/cm.
An AC127-030-C achromatic doublet lens has a specified CW LIDT of 350 W/cm, as tested at 1550 nm. CW damage threshold values typically scale directly with the wavelength of the laser source, so this yields an adjusted LIDT value:
The adjusted LIDT value of 350 W/cm x (1319 nm / 1550 nm) = 298 W/cm is significantly higher than the calculated maximum linear power density of the laser system, so it would be safe to use this doublet lens for this application.
Pulsed Nanosecond Laser Example: Scaling for Different Pulse Durations
Suppose that a pulsed Nd:YAG laser system is frequency tripled to produce a 10 Hz output, consisting of 2 ns output pulses at 355 nm, each with 1 J of energy, in a Gaussian beam with a 1.9 cm beam diameter (1/e2). The average energy density of each pulse is found by dividing the pulse energy by the beam area:
As described above, the maximum energy density of a Gaussian beam is about twice the average energy density. So, the maximum energy density of this beam is ~0.7 J/cm2.
The energy density of the beam can be compared to the LIDT values of 1 J/cm2 and 3.5 J/cm2 for a BB1-E01 broadband dielectric mirror and an NB1-K08 Nd:YAG laser line mirror, respectively. Both of these LIDT values, while measured at 355 nm, were determined with a 10 ns pulsed laser at 10 Hz. Therefore, an adjustment must be applied for the shorter pulse duration of the system under consideration. As described on the previous tab, LIDT values in the nanosecond pulse regime scale with the square root of the laser pulse duration:
This adjustment factor results in LIDT values of 0.45 J/cm2 for the BB1-E01 broadband mirror and 1.6 J/cm2 for the Nd:YAG laser line mirror, which are to be compared with the 0.7 J/cm2 maximum energy density of the beam. While the broadband mirror would likely be damaged by the laser, the more specialized laser line mirror is appropriate for use with this system.
Pulsed Nanosecond Laser Example: Scaling for Different Wavelengths
Suppose that a pulsed laser system emits 10 ns pulses at 2.5 Hz, each with 100 mJ of energy at 1064 nm in a 16 mm diameter beam (1/e2) that must be attenuated with a neutral density filter. For a Gaussian output, these specifications result in a maximum energy density of 0.1 J/cm2. The damage threshold of an NDUV10A Ø25 mm, OD 1.0, reflective neutral density filter is 0.05 J/cm2 for 10 ns pulses at 355 nm, while the damage threshold of the similar NE10A absorptive filter is 10 J/cm2 for 10 ns pulses at 532 nm. As described on the previous tab, the LIDT value of an optic scales with the square root of the wavelength in the nanosecond pulse regime:
This scaling gives adjusted LIDT values of 0.08 J/cm2 for the reflective filter and 14 J/cm2 for the absorptive filter. In this case, the absorptive filter is the best choice in order to avoid optical damage.
Pulsed Microsecond Laser Example
Consider a laser system that produces 1 µs pulses, each containing 150 µJ of energy at a repetition rate of 50 kHz, resulting in a relatively high duty cycle of 5%. This system falls somewhere between the regimes of CW and pulsed laser induced damage, and could potentially damage an optic by mechanisms associated with either regime. As a result, both CW and pulsed LIDT values must be compared to the properties of the laser system to ensure safe operation.
If this relatively long-pulse laser emits a Gaussian 12.7 mm diameter beam (1/e2) at 980 nm, then the resulting output has a linear power density of 5.9 W/cm and an energy density of 1.2 x 10-4 J/cm2 per pulse. This can be compared to the LIDT values for a WPQ10E-980 polymer zero-order quarter-wave plate, which are 5 W/cm for CW radiation at 810 nm and 5 J/cm2 for a 10 ns pulse at 810 nm. As before, the CW LIDT of the optic scales linearly with the laser wavelength, resulting in an adjusted CW value of 6 W/cm at 980 nm. On the other hand, the pulsed LIDT scales with the square root of the laser wavelength and the square root of the pulse duration, resulting in an adjusted value of 55 J/cm2 for a 1 µs pulse at 980 nm. The pulsed LIDT of the optic is significantly greater than the energy density of the laser pulse, so individual pulses will not damage the wave plate. However, the large average linear power density of the laser system may cause thermal damage to the optic, much like a high-power CW beam.

You are asking about some observed ellipticity in an initially polarized beam, after interacting with this dichroic mirror. Unfortunately, this is expected due to the nature of the dielectric coating stack which forms the active layers of this mirror.

The Data Sheet for this mirror, published on your website, specifies only the Laser Induced Damage Threshold measured for a pulsed laser (10 Hz, 10 ns, 532 nm, Ø250 µm).
Could you please check, if the selected mirror can operate without damage for the specified laser power density or/and specify LIDT measured for CW (order of magnitude)?
Could you verify if the selected mirror %% (or )

 (posted 2021-03-15 03:00:35.0) Thank you for contacting Thorlabs. Unfortunately, we don't have a formal spec for the wavefront distortion for the reflected beam for these filters. The dichroics utilize a high-stress IBS coating, which will result in a reflected wavefront error of >5-6 waves. The reflected image quality will be quite poor. For this reason, it's usually best practice to use the reflected beam path solely as an illumination path. That being said, we have been working on a lower stress coating process and we may be able to offer a custom version (though we are still working to characterize and formalize the RWE specs).

 (posted 2015-02-03 01:00:31.0) Response from Bweh at Thorlabs USA: At this time, we are not able to provide these dichroic beamsplitters at other wavelengths. One alternative to consider is an edgepass filter used at an angle of incidence different from normal incidence which will shift the cut-off to lower wavelengths. For example the FEL1400 (http://www.thorlabs.us/thorproduct.cfm?partnumber=FEL1400). 1982ariel

 (posted 2014-03-31 12:17:13.347) Hello, Do you know if the DMLP900R produces second harmonic when illuminated with 1030 nm? We need a dichroic mirror to transmit (or reflect) highly efficiently (and pol independent) the visible range while reflecting (or transmitting) 1030 nm, without producing second harmonic. We dont mind sacrificing 1030 nm. Any suggestions? besembeson
 (posted 2014-04-03 08:02:22.0) Response from Bweh E at Thorlabs: These coatings are centrosymmetric so there is no second harmonic generation. The DMSP1000R might be a better option for your application though. We have data on the website that shows the transmission and reflection for P- and S- polarization states to determine how suitable these are for your application. emeyersc

 (posted 2014-03-04 08:07:25.0) Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: The preferred incident side for both cases are depicted in the Applications tab on this page. The side that looks like a front surface mirror would be the dichroic side. c.alpmann

 (posted 2014-02-27 04:29:49.0) Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: You can angle tune the dichroic slightly. The slope, transmission and reflection amount can change slightly though. The 1500nm version might be better for you in this case. I will contact you to provide more details. roland.bege

Thanks Roland cdaly
 (posted 2013-12-05 09:43:10.0) Response from Chris at Thorlabs: The arrow on the DMLP900 points to the side with the anti-reflection coating. The other side will have the dichroic beams splitter coating on it, which is he recommended incidence side for splitting. S and P polarization are completely dependent on the orientation of the beam with respect to the optic. If you were to imagine you had a horizontal beam going into an optic at a normal angle of incidence, there would be no S or P. If you then turn the optic about the vertical axis, the light polarized vertically would be considered s-polarized and light polarized horizontally would be considered p-polarized. If you were to have rotated the optic about the horizontal axis instead, they would be reversed. s.kovalev

How do these filters perform when used at an AOI of zero? Is the behaviour comparable to that of other multilayer filters, i.e., do the entire transmission characteristics shift towards shorter wavelengths?
Regards,
Fabian tcohen
 (posted 2013-06-19 17:48:00.0) Response from Tim at Thorlabs to Fabian: As you decrease from 45deg to lower angles of incidence, your spectra will shift to longer wavelengths. Typically there can also be deformations with this large of an AOI change. user

 (posted 2013-08-05 11:08:00.0) Response from Tim at Thorlabs: Thank you for contacting us. We are typically able to provide out of band performance data on request. As out of band data is not as rigorously monitored in QC, performance can vary with coating lots, especially in out of band wavelengths where the part may be fluctuating or on a slope.
