The BS044 is a non-polarizing beamsplitter cube, designed and manufactured by Thorlabs. This beamsplitter cube is a crucial component in various optical systems, facilitating the division of an incident light beam into reflected and transmitted components. The BS044 boasts a cube side of 20 mm, making it compatible with a wide range of optical setups.
The beamsplitter's physical data is as follows: it reflects 10% (0.1) of the incident light and transmits 90% (0.9). This specific reflection-to-transmission ratio (R:T) makes it suitable for applications where a higher transmission rate is required. The beamsplitter is crafted from n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass, ensuring excellent optical performance.
The BS044 is designed to operate within the wavelength range of 700-1100 nm, encompassing a broad spectrum of light. This wavelength range makes it suitable for various applications, including but not limited to, biomedical imaging, laser systems, and optical communication.
The beamsplitter cube features a coating on all surfaces, including the front, back, left, right, hypotenuse 1, and hypotenuse 2. This coating, identified as 'tho cbs bbar700-1100', is specifically designed for operation within the 700-1100 nm range, ensuring optimal performance.
