This product is a 40 mm diameter, 5 mm thick beamsplitter plate, designed for broadband use in the visible to near-infrared spectrum (450-1000nm). Manufactured by Qioptiq Photonics, it is made from N-BK7 glass, a popular choice for its high homogeneity and excellent optical transmission properties.
The beamsplitter features a 50:50 reflectance to transmission ratio, meaning it splits incoming light equally between its reflected and transmitted paths. This makes it ideal for applications requiring balanced light distribution, such as interferometry or beam combination.
The beamsplitter's coating, qio bbbs50tbpvisnir4, is specifically designed for broadband use in the visible to near-infrared range. This coating ensures high transmission and reflection efficiency across the specified wavelength range.
The beamsplitter's geometry is that of a thin lens, which can be advantageous in certain optical systems due to its compactness and minimal optical path distortion.
