47-010 5 x 5mm 50:50 (R:T) N-BK7 Broadband Non-Polarizing Cube Beamsplitter; t=5mm NIR 720-1080nm

The 47-010 is a 5mm x 5mm, 50:50 (R:T) non-polarizing cube beamsplitter, designed for use in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum of 720-1080nm. This beamsplitter is sourced from Edmund Optics, a leading provider of optical components.

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 a crucial aspect of its functionality. The front, back, left, and right surfaces are coated with an ideal broadband anti-reflective (AR) coating, ensuring minimal loss of light due to reflection.

The hypotenuse faces of the beamsplitter are treated differently. The first hypotenuse is coated with the Edmund Optics specific coating 47-010, while the second hypotenuse is coated with the ideal broadband AR coating. This specific coating on the first hypotenuse is designed to optimize the beamsplitter's performance in the NIR spectrum.

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 it splits incoming light equally between reflection and transmission, making it suitable for applications requiring balanced light distribution.
