68-552 30 x 30mm 30:70 (R:T) N-BK7 Standard Cube Beamsplitter; t=30mm 400-700nm

The 68-552 is a standard cube beamsplitter offered by Edmund Optics, designed for use in the 400-700nm wavelength range. This beamsplitter is characterized by its 30mm x 30mm geometry, with a thickness of 30mm and a cube side length also of 30mm.

The beamsplitter's primary function is to divide incoming light into reflected and transmitted components. In this case, the beamsplitter has a reflection ratio of 30% (R) and a transmission ratio of 70% (T), providing a balanced split of incident light.

The material used for this beamsplitter is N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass manufactured by Schott. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, making it a popular choice for a wide range of optical applications.

The beamsplitter features a standard coating on all surfaces, including the front, back, left, right, hypotenuse 1, and hypotenuse 2. This coating, identified as 'edm mgf2 std curve', is designed to enhance the beamsplitter's performance within its specified wavelength range.

In terms of shape, the beamsplitter is a cube, which is a common form factor for beamsplitters due to its ease of use and integration into optical systems. The 68-552 is currently in stock and available for purchase through the Edmund Optics website.
