The 05BC17MB.3 is a broadband non-polarizing cube beamsplitter, designed and manufactured by MKS/Newport. This beamsplitter is a crucial component in various optical systems, facilitating the division of an incident light beam into reflected and transmitted components.
The beamsplitter boasts a robust N-BK7 Schott substrate, a popular choice in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. The N-BK7 Schott substrate is 12.7mm in width, height, and thickness, ensuring durability and stability in various applications.
The 05BC17MB.3 features a broadband anti-reflective (AR) coating on all surfaces, including the front, back, left, right, and hypotenuse faces. This coating enhances the beamsplitter's performance by minimizing surface reflections and maximizing transmission over a wide spectral range of 1100-1600nm.
The beamsplitter's coating is designed to provide a 50/50 reflection-transmission ratio, ensuring a balanced division of the incident light beam. This characteristic makes it an ideal choice for applications requiring equal distribution of light, such as interferometry, beam combining, and imaging systems.
