The BS006 is a 0.5 inch Non-Polarizing Beamsplitter Cube, designed for use in the 1100-1600nm wavelength range. This beamsplitter cube, offered by Thorlabs, is a crucial component in various optical systems, facilitating the division of incident light into reflected and transmitted components.
The BS006 boasts a 50:50 reflection-to-transmission ratio, ensuring equal distribution of light between the reflected and transmitted paths. This beamsplitter is made from n-bk7 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties and versatility.
The cube's geometry measures 0.5 inches (12.7mm) along each side, making it compatible with a wide range of optical systems. The BS006 features broadband anti-reflection coatings on all surfaces, specifically the tho cbsbbar1100-1600 coating. This coating enhances the beamsplitter's performance by minimizing unwanted reflections and improving overall transmission.
