The BS036 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 BS036 features a cube side of 5 mm, making it compatible with a wide range of optical systems. It is designed to operate within the wavelength range of 1100-1600nm, providing reliable performance in near-infrared applications.
The beamsplitter has a reflection coefficient of 0.1 and a transmission coefficient of 0.9. This means that 10% of the incident light is reflected, while 90% is transmitted. The beamsplitter's coating, denoted as 'tho cbsbbar1100-1600', is applied to all surfaces, ensuring consistent performance across all faces.
The BS036 is made from n-bk7 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. This makes the beamsplitter cube suitable for use in high-power laser applications.
