The beam combiner for the Big Optical Array will eventually combine 6 beams. Initially it will use the 3 way beam combiner shown in Figure 1. This combiner is assembled on a 4′x7′ super-invar breadboard. Simultaneous white light fringes have been detected on all three baselines in the laboratory. This paper describes this beam combiner and the design decisions upon which it is based.
