The BSW42-532 is a circular beam splitter, offered by Thorlabs, with a diameter of 50.8 mm and a thickness of 8.0 mm. This beamsplitter is designed for use with a wavelength of 532 nm, making it suitable for a wide range of laser applications.
The BSW42-532 features a 50:50 beam splitting ratio, meaning it evenly divides incoming light between its reflected and transmitted paths. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require balanced light division.
The beamsplitter's front surface is coated with tho bsw532, while the back surface is coated with tho v-ar-532. These coatings are specifically designed to enhance the beamsplitter's performance at the 532 nm wavelength.
The BSW42-532 is available in a thin lens shape, which offers several advantages. Thin beam splitters are less susceptible to optical aberrations, and their compact design makes them easier to integrate into optical systems.
