BSW511 Dia:1in 50:50 (R:T) CaF2 Plate Beamsplitter; Coating: 1-6 µm; t=5 mm

The BSW511 Dia:1in 50:50 (R:T) CaF2 Plate Beamsplitter is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs. This beamsplitter is designed with a calcium fluoride (CaF2) substrate, which is known for its excellent transparency in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared regions of the spectrum. The beamsplitter has a diameter of 1 inch (25.4 mm) and a thickness of 5 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.

The beamsplitter features a 50:50 reflectance to transmission ratio, meaning it splits incoming light equally between its reflected and transmitted paths. This makes it ideal for applications that require balanced light distribution, such as interferometry and beam combining. The coating on the front surface of the beamsplitter is 'tho 50caf2bs10006000', which is designed to handle wavelengths between 1 and 6 µm.

The BSW511 is shaped as a thin lens, which helps to minimize optical aberrations and distortions. This beamsplitter is currently in stock and available for immediate shipping, as indicated by its 'Valid - in stock' web link status.
