This is the BK7-LNPBSC-20-780, a 20 x 20 x 20 mm N-BK7 Laser Line Non-Polarizing Cube Beamsplitter, specifically designed for a central wavelength of 780nm. This beamsplitter is sourced from Simtrum, a reputable vendor in the optical industry.
The beamsplitter is a crucial component in optical systems, responsible for splitting or combining beams of light. This particular model is a cube beamsplitter, which offers superior stability and durability compared to other forms. The cube shape is achieved by joining two right-angle prisms with a hypotenuse face, creating a compact and robust design.
The BK7-LNPBSC-20-780 boasts a geometry of 20mm in all three dimensions, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The beamsplitter's physical data indicates a reflection of 0.5 and a transmission of 0.5 at the specified wavelength of 780nm. This 50/50 split is ideal for many applications where equal distribution of light is required.
The beamsplitter's material is N-BK7, a high-quality borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material is sourced from Schott, a leading manufacturer in the field, ensuring high-quality performance.
The BK7-LNPBSC-20-780 features broadband anti-reflection coatings on all surfaces except the hypotenuse faces. The front and back faces, as well as the left and right faces, are coated with an ideal broadband AR coating. The hypotenuse faces, however, are coated with a sim npbs 780 aoi 45 coating, specifically designed for optimal performance at 780nm and a 45-degree angle of incidence.
