47-007 5 x 5mm 50:50 (R:T) N-BK7 Broadband Non-Polarizing Cube Beamsplitter; t=5mm VIS 430-670nm

The 47-007 is a 5mm x 5mm, 50:50 (R:T) N-BK7 Broadband Non-Polarizing Cube Beamsplitter, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. This beamsplitter is designed for use in the visible spectrum, specifically between 430 and 670nm.

The beamsplitter features a cube side of 5mm, with a thickness of 5mm, making it a compact and robust solution for various optical applications. The beamsplitter's coating is another notable feature, with both the front and back, as well as the left and right surfaces, coated with an ideal broadband anti-reflective (AR) coating. This coating ensures minimal loss of light due to reflection, enhancing the overall efficiency of the optical system.

The hypotenuse faces of the beamsplitter are also treated with specific coatings. The first hypotenuse face is coated with the EDM 47-007 coating, while the second hypotenuse face is coated with the ideal broadband AR coating. This unique coating configuration ensures optimal performance for the specific application this beamsplitter is designed for.

The beamsplitter's physical data indicates a reflection of 0.5 and a transmission of 0.5, demonstrating its 50:50 (R:T) functionality. This means that approximately half of the incident light will be reflected, while the other half will be transmitted, making it a versatile component in various optical systems.
