This product is a broadband non-polarizing cube beamsplitter, offered by Simtrum with the catalog number BK7-NPBSC-12.7-1200-1600. It is designed for use in the wavelength range of 1200-1600nm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The beamsplitter is constructed with a volume shape, featuring dimensions of 12.7 x 12.7 x 12.7 mm. This cube-shaped design is common in beamsplitters due to its simplicity and efficiency. The beamsplitter's physical data indicates a 50/50 split between reflection and transmission, which is typical for non-polarizing beamsplitters.
The beamsplitter's material is n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transmission properties and low auto-fluorescence. This material is widely used in optical systems due to its versatility and reliability.
The coating of the beamsplitter is another notable feature. Both the front and back surfaces are coated with ideal broadband AR, which stands for anti-reflection. This coating helps to minimize reflection and increase transmission, thereby improving the efficiency of the optical system. The left and right surfaces also have the same ideal broadband AR coating.
The hypotenuse faces of the beamsplitter are coated differently. Hypotenuse 1 is coated with Sim BB-NPBS 1600 45, a special coating designed for broadband non-polarizing beamsplitters. Hypotenuse 2, on the other hand, has the ideal broadband AR coating.
