The BS050 is a non-polarizing beamsplitter cube, designed and manufactured by Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the optical industry. This beamsplitter cube is specifically engineered for use in the 700-1100nm wavelength range, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in the near-infrared spectrum.
The beamsplitter cube features a 10mm cube side, providing a compact and robust design that ensures stability and durability. The BS050 boasts a reflection ratio of 30:70 (R:T), meaning it reflects 30% of the incident light and transmits 70%. This specific ratio is often used in applications where a balance between reflection and transmission is required.
The BS050 is coated with Thorlabs' proprietary coating, referred to as 'tho cbs bbar700-1100'. This coating is applied to all surfaces of the cube, including the front, back, left, right, hypotenuse 1, and hypotenuse 2 faces. This ensures consistent performance across all surfaces and in all orientations.
The material used in the construction of the BS050 is n-bk7 schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent optical properties and durability. This further enhances the performance and reliability of the beamsplitter cube.
