BS033 50:50 (R:T) Non-Polarizing Beamsplitter Cube; 2 inch 1100-1600nm

The BS033 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. This beamsplitter cube is manufactured by Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of optical components.

The beamsplitter cube features a 2-inch (50.8mm) cube side, providing a substantial surface area for efficient beam splitting. The cube is designed with a 50:50 reflection-to-transmission ratio, ensuring equal distribution of light between the reflected and transmitted beams. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require balanced light distribution.

The BS033 is coated with Thorlabs' CBSBBAR1100-1600 coating on all surfaces, including the front, back, left, right, and both hypotenuses. This broadband anti-reflection coating is specifically designed for the 1100-1600nm wavelength range, minimizing unwanted reflections and maximizing transmission.

The beamsplitter cube is made from n-BK7 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. This ensures the BS033 can withstand rigorous use in various environments.

In terms of geometry, the BS033 is a cube-shaped beamsplitter, which is a popular choice due to its robustness and ease of integration into optical systems. The cube shape also provides excellent stability, reducing the risk of misalignment during operation.
