Talk:Dichroic prism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Excellent. This is exactly what I wanted to know. So the three beams are actually just bandpass-filtered versions of the original image, with reddish, blueish, and greenish center frequencies, right? It doesn't convert it to three specific frequencies... Maybe we could make a graph of that? - Omegatron 19:10, Apr 8, 2004 (UTC)

the light isn't being filtered, each surface act as a dichroic reflector, it reflects light of a certain wavelenght (and within a certain band) and the rest passes through, no light is absorbed (ideally)
