The 49-006 is a 50mm non-polarizing cube beamsplitter from Edmund Optics, designed for use in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum of 720-1080nm. This beamsplitter is a crucial component in various optical systems, particularly those requiring broadband non-polarizing light splitting.
The beamsplitter's geometry is defined by a 50mm x 50mm footprint and a thickness of 50mm, making it suitable for applications requiring a substantial optical path length. The cube shape, a characteristic of this beamsplitter, ensures stability and alignment simplicity in optical systems.
The 49-006 offers a 50:50 reflection-to-transmission ratio, meaning it reflects 50% of the incident light and transmits the remaining 50%. This characteristic is consistent across the entire NIR spectrum, providing a uniform response across the operational wavelength range.
The beamsplitter is constructed from N-BK7 glass, a common material in optical systems due to its excellent optical properties and broad transparency range. The glass is coated with an ideal broadband anti-reflective (AR) coating on all surfaces, minimizing unwanted reflections and enhancing overall system performance.
