The CSMH-10-550 is a dielectric half-mirror cube beamsplitter, designed and manufactured by OptoSigma. This beamsplitter is a crucial component in various optical systems, particularly where the division of an incident light beam into reflected and transmitted components is required.
The beamsplitter features a 10 x 10 mm aperture and a cube geometry with each side measuring 10 mm, providing a robust and compact design. The beamsplitter's primary function is to divide incoming light evenly, with a reflection ratio of 50% (R:T) at a wavelength of 550 nm. This characteristic makes it ideal for applications that require balanced light division.
The CSMH-10-550 is crafted from N-BK7 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties and broadband transmission characteristics. The beamsplitter's front, back, left, and right surfaces are coated with ideal broadband AR, ensuring minimal reflection and maximizing transmission.
The hypotenuse surfaces of the beamsplitter are coated with Opt CSMH-550 and ideal broadband AR. The Opt CSMH-550 coating on the first hypotenuse surface is specifically designed for optimal performance at a wavelength of 550 nm, while the ideal broadband AR coating on the second hypotenuse surface ensures minimal reflection across a broad spectrum.
