The 32-505 is a standard cube beamsplitter, designed and manufactured by Edmund Optics. This beamsplitter is characterized by its 25mm x 25mm geometry, with a cube side also measuring 25mm, providing a compact and robust design suitable for various optical applications.
The beamsplitter features a 50:50 reflection-to-transmission ratio, ensuring an equal distribution of light between the reflected and transmitted paths. This characteristic is particularly useful in applications where balanced light distribution is required, such as interferometry, beam combining, or imaging systems.
The physical data of the 32-505 indicates a base shape of volume and a thickness of 25mm. The beamsplitter is constructed from N-BK7 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties, including high homogeneity, low auto-fluorescence, and superior transmittance in the visible spectrum.
The coating of the 32-505 is a standard MgF2 coating on all surfaces, providing high reflectivity and transmission across the specified wavelength range of 400-700nm. This coating ensures optimal performance and durability, making the beamsplitter suitable for use in demanding environments.
