The HBCH-10-550 is a Hybrid Half-Mirror Cube Beamsplitter, part of OptoSigma's extensive catalog of optical elements. This beamsplitter is designed with a 10 x 10 mm N-BK7 substrate, a popular glass type known for its excellent optical properties and low auto-fluorescence. The beamsplitter's geometry is cubic, with each side measuring 10 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The HBCH-10-550 features a broadband anti-reflection (AR) coating on all surfaces except the hypotenuse faces. The front, back, left, and right surfaces are coated with an ideal broadband AR, ensuring minimal reflection and maximizing transmission across the 400-700 nm wavelength range. The hypotenuse faces, on the other hand, are coated with an Opt HBCH-550 coating on one face and an ideal broadband AR on the other, providing optimal performance for specific applications.
The beamsplitter's physical data indicates a reflection of 0.55 and a transmission of 0.45. This ratio is consistent across the entire 550 nm wavelength, making it a reliable choice for applications that require consistent beam splitting.
