BS015 50:50 (R:T) Non-Polarizing Beamsplitter Cube; 1 inch 1100-1600nm

The BS015 is a non-polarizing beamsplitter cube designed for use in the 1100-1600nm wavelength range, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in the near-infrared spectrum. Manufactured by Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of optical components, this beamsplitter cube boasts a 50:50 reflection-to-transmission ratio, ensuring equal distribution of light between the reflected and transmitted paths.

The cube itself is constructed from n-BK7 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. The BS015 features a cube side of 1 inch (25.4mm), making it compatible with standard optical systems and components. The beamsplitter coatings on all surfaces, including the front, back, left, right, hypotenuse 1, and hypotenuse 2, are designed to provide optimal performance within the specified wavelength range. These coatings are identified as 'tho cbsbbar1100-1600' for all surfaces except hypotenuse 1, which is coated with 'tho 50nbk7cbs1100160'.

In terms of geometry, the BS015 is a cube-shaped beamsplitter, a design that offers superior stability and durability compared to other forms of beamsplitters. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require a robust and reliable optical component. The BS015 is available for purchase through the Thorlabs website, where it is listed as 'in stock', indicating immediate availability.
