This is a BK7-BSC-5-400-700 Beam Splitter Cube, a high-quality optical component sourced from Simtrum. The cube has dimensions of 5 x 5 x 5 mm, making it a compact and versatile option for various optical applications.
The Beam Splitter Cube is made of N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material is often used in high-precision optical systems due to its low coefficient of thermal expansion and high homogeneity.
The cube features a 50:50 beam splitter coating, which is designed to reflect 50% of the incident light and transmit 50% of the light. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require equal distribution of light, such as interferometry, beam combining, and optical switching.
The coating is broadband, covering the wavelength range of 400-700nm. This means that the cube can be used with a wide range of light sources, including lasers and broadband light sources.
The front, back, left, and right surfaces of the cube are coated with an ideal broadband anti-reflection (AR) coating. This coating reduces reflection at the interface between the glass and air, thereby increasing the amount of light transmitted through the cube.
The hypotenuse 1 surface of the cube is coated with a sim bsc 50 400700 45 coating, which is specifically designed for beam splitting applications. The hypotenuse 2 surface is coated with an ideal broadband AR coating.
