The BS040 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 BS040 features a cube side of 0.5 inches, or approximately 12.7 millimeters, making it compatible with a wide range of optical systems. It is designed to operate within the wavelength range of 400 to 700 nanometers, encompassing the visible light spectrum.
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, identified as 'tho cbs bbar400-700', is applied to all surfaces, ensuring consistent performance across the specified wavelength range.
The BS040 is made from n-bk7 schott, a high-quality optical glass. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, making it a popular choice for a wide range of optical applications.
The beamsplitter cube's shape is defined by its 'Volume' base shape and 'BS Cube' design. This unique design allows for efficient light splitting, making the BS040 an ideal choice for various optical systems.
