The BS005 is a 50:50 non-polarizing beamsplitter cube, designed for use in optical systems where equal division of incident light is required. Manufactured by Thorlabs, this beamsplitter cube features a robust design, with a cube side of 0.5 inches, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The beamsplitter cube boasts a reflection and transmission ratio of 0.5, ensuring an equal division of light between the reflected and transmitted beams. This non-polarizing beamsplitter is designed to operate within the wavelength range of 700-1100nm, making it ideal for use with near-infrared light sources.
The BS005 is constructed from n-BK7 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. This beamsplitter cube is coated with Thorlabs' CBAR700-1100 coating on all surfaces, enhancing its performance within the specified wavelength range.
The BS005 is a cube-shaped beamsplitter, with a volume-based design. This shape, combined with its compact size, makes it easy to integrate into various optical systems. The beamsplitter cube features hypotenuse surfaces on two sides, each coated with a different coating for optimal performance.
