Standa's 14NBC-5-50/50-700-950 is a non-polarizing cube beamsplitter, designed for use in the 700-950nm wavelength range. This beamsplitter is part of Standa's extensive catalog of optical elements, available through 3DOptix's advanced optical simulation software.
The beamsplitter is a cube-shaped optical component, with dimensions of 5 x 5 x 5 mm. It is made from S-BSL7 material, a type of borosilicate glass manufactured by Ohara. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The beamsplitter features a 50:50 (R:T) split ratio, meaning it reflects 50% of the incident light and transmits the remaining 50%. The reflection and transmission coefficients are ideally equal, ensuring a balanced distribution of light.
The beamsplitter's coating is another notable feature. Both the front and back surfaces are coated with ideal broadband AR, a type of anti-reflective coating that minimizes surface reflections and improves transmission. The left and right surfaces also feature the same coating.
The hypotenuse faces of the beamsplitter are coated differently. The first hypotenuse is coated with Sta 14NBC-700-950, a custom coating designed for this specific beamsplitter model. The second hypotenuse is coated with ideal broadband AR, similar to the other surfaces.
