The NPCH-10-3550 is a non-polarizing cube beamsplitter offered by OptoSigma, a renowned vendor in the optical industry. This beamsplitter is designed with a 10mm x 10mm x 10mm geometry, making it a compact solution for various optical applications.
The beamsplitter boasts a 50:50 reflection-to-transmission ratio, ensuring an equal distribution of light between the reflected and transmitted paths. This characteristic is particularly useful in applications where balanced light distribution is required.
The NPCH-10-3550 is crafted from UVFS material, a type of synthetic fused silica. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency and resistance to damage from ultraviolet light. The beamsplitter is designed to operate at a wavelength of 355nm, making it suitable for applications in the ultraviolet spectrum.
The beamsplitter's coating is another notable feature. Both the front and back surfaces are coated with ideal broadband AR, a type of anti-reflective coating that reduces surface reflections and improves transmission. The left and right surfaces also feature this coating.
The hypotenuse surfaces of the beamsplitter are treated differently. Hypotenuse 1 is coated with Opt NPCH-3550, a specialized coating for this specific beamsplitter model. Hypotenuse 2, on the other hand, is coated with ideal broadband AR, ensuring optimal performance.
