This is a BK7-NPBSC-25.4-700-1000 N-BK7 Broadband Non-Polarizing Cube Beamsplitter, designed for use in the 700-1000nm wavelength range. The beamsplitter is sourced from Simtrum, a reputable vendor in the optical industry.
The beamsplitter is a cube-shaped optical element, with each side measuring 25.4mm. This cube geometry is a common design for beamsplitters, as it provides a robust and compact structure that is easy to integrate into optical systems.
The beamsplitter is made from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass that is known for its excellent optical properties. This material is often used in high-precision optical applications due to its low dispersion and high homogeneity.
The beamsplitter features a broadband anti-reflective (AR) coating on all surfaces, including the hypotenuse faces. This coating is designed to reduce reflection and increase transmission across the entire 700-1000nm wavelength range. The coating on the hypotenuse faces is a sim bb-npbs 1000 45 coating, which is specifically designed for non-polarizing beamsplitters.
The beamsplitter has a reflection of 0.5 and a transmission of 0.5. This 50/50 split is typical for non-polarizing beamsplitters, which are designed to split incoming light equally between the reflected and transmitted paths.
