The NPCH-15-3550 is a non-polarizing cube beamsplitter offered by OptoSigma, designed for applications that require a 50:50 reflection-to-transmission ratio. This beamsplitter is crafted from UVFS (UV Fused Silica) material, ensuring high performance and durability.
The beamsplitter features a 15 x 15 mm geometry, making it suitable for a wide range of optical systems. The reflection and transmission coefficients are both 0.5, indicating a balanced split of the incident light. This 50:50 ratio is often desirable in various applications, such as interferometry, where equal distribution of light is crucial.
The NPCH-15-3550 is designed to operate at a wavelength of 355nm, aligning it with the UV spectrum. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that utilize this specific wavelength, such as UV laser systems.
The beamsplitter's coating is another notable feature. Both the front and back surfaces are coated with ideal broadband AR (Anti-Reflective), ensuring minimal loss of light due to reflection. The left and right surfaces also feature the same ideal broadband AR coating. The hypotenuse surfaces, however, have different coatings: one is coated with Opt NPCH-3550, while the other is coated with ideal broadband AR.
