The UVBS16-1UV is a 30 mm diameter beamsplitter, specifically designed for use in the ultraviolet spectrum. Manufactured by MKS/Newport, this component is a thin beam splitter, characterized by its circular geometry and a thickness of 3mm.
This beamsplitter is designed to operate within the wavelength range of 250-450nm, making it suitable for a wide range of ultraviolet applications. The UVFS material ID indicates its specific material composition, which is crucial for its performance in the UV spectrum.
The beamsplitter features a 50:50 reflection to transmission ratio, meaning it reflects 50% of the incident light and transmits the remaining 50%. This ratio is maintained for both s-polarized and p-polarized light, making it a versatile component for various optical setups.
The front surface of the beamsplitter is coated with a New BS-1UV coating, which enhances its performance in the UV spectrum. The physical data provided indicates a reflection of 0.5 and a transmission of 0.5, aligning with the 50:50 ratio.
