The CSMH-50-550 is a high-quality beamsplitter cube, designed and manufactured by OptoSigma. This beamsplitter is a 50 x 50 mm cube, with each face measuring 50 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The beamsplitter is designed to reflect 50% of the incident light and transmit 50% of the incident light, offering a balanced split of the input beam. This 50:50 (R:T) ratio ensures that the output beams maintain the same intensity, which is crucial in many optical systems.
The beamsplitter is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties. This glass is used in many high-precision optical applications due to its low dispersion and high homogeneity.
The CSMH-50-550 features broadband anti-reflection coatings on all surfaces, including the hypotenuse faces. These coatings are designed to minimize reflection losses and improve transmission, ensuring optimal performance across the 400-700 nm wavelength range.
The beamsplitter cube is designed with a cube shape, which provides superior stability and alignment capabilities compared to other beamsplitter designs. This shape also allows for easy integration into optical systems, as it can be directly mounted or integrated into larger optical assemblies.
