The BS073 is a non-polarizing beamsplitter cube, designed and manufactured by Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of optical components. This beamsplitter cube is specifically designed for use in the visible spectrum, with a wavelength range of 400-700nm.
The beamsplitter cube features a unique 90:10 (R:T) ratio, meaning that it reflects 90% of the incoming light and transmits 10% of the incoming light. This ratio is consistent across the entire wavelength range, providing a reliable and predictable performance.
The BS073 is constructed from high-quality n-BK7 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties and durability. The beamsplitter cube has a cube side of 0.5 inches, making it compatible with a wide range of optical systems and setups.
The beamsplitter cube is coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating, specifically designed for use in the 400-700nm range. This coating reduces unwanted reflections and increases the overall transmission of the beamsplitter cube.
The BS073 is available in two shapes: a right-angle prism and a penta prism. Both shapes are designed to provide maximum flexibility and compatibility with various optical systems. The beamsplitter cube is also available in a volume shape, which is ideal for applications where a high degree of optical precision is required.
