The BS016 is a non-polarizing beamsplitter cube, designed and manufactured by Thorlabs. This beamsplitter cube is part of the extensive catalog of optical elements offered by 3DOptix, a leading provider of advanced optical simulation software.
The BS016 features a cube side of 20 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The beamsplitter has a reflection rate of 0.5 and a transmission rate of 0.5, providing a 50:50 split of the incident light. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require equal distribution of light.
The beamsplitter is coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating, specifically designed for the wavelength range of 400-700 nm. This coating, denoted as 'tho cbs bbar400-700', ensures high transmission and low reflection across the specified wavelength range. The coating is applied to all surfaces of the cube, including the front, back, left, right, and both hypotenuses.
The BS016 is made from n-BK7 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. This ensures the beamsplitter's durability and reliability in various optical setups.
