Quote:

No phase shift accompanies a rear surface reflection, since the medium behind the mirror (air) has a lower refractive index than the medium the light is traveling in (glass).
They do not talk about the metal between glass and air! Reflection occurs between glass (low index) and metal (high index)in the beam splitter. What about phase when metal is thick?
