The 32-601 is a standard cube beamsplitter offered by Edmund Optics, designed for use in the 400-700nm wavelength range. This beamsplitter is characterized by its 50:50 reflection-to-transmission ratio, making it an ideal choice for applications that require equal distribution of light between the reflected and transmitted paths.
The beamsplitter is constructed from N-BK7 glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and wide transparency range. The glass cube has dimensions of 10 x 10mm, with a thickness of 10mm, providing robustness and stability. The cube shape is designed to minimize beam deviation, ensuring that the reflected and transmitted beams maintain their original direction.
The beamsplitter's coating is another notable feature. Both the front and back surfaces, as well as the left and right surfaces, are coated with EDM MGF2 std curve. This coating enhances the beamsplitter's performance by reducing surface reflections and improving transmission. The hypotenuse 1 surface is coated with EDM Vis R50 T50, while the hypotenuse 2 surface is coated with EDM MGF2 std curve. These coatings are specifically designed to optimize the beamsplitter's performance at the specified wavelength range.
