The BSX05 is a high-quality beam splitter from Thorlabs, designed with a circular geometry and a diameter of 0.5 inches (12.7 mm). It features a thickness of 3 mm, making it a robust and stable optical component. This beam splitter is categorized as a thin BS, which refers to its specific design and construction.
The BSX05 is made from UVFS material, identified as MAL-1965 in the Material ID. It is designed to operate at a wavelength of 633 nm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The beam splitter's coating is a crucial aspect of its functionality. The front surface of the BSX05 is coated with tho 9010uvbs7001100, which is a specific coating that enhances its performance within the wavelength range of 700-1100 nm.
In terms of its optical properties, the BSX05 offers a beam splitting ratio of 90:10 (R:T), meaning that it reflects 90% of the incident light and transmits 10%. This ratio is fixed and should be carefully considered when selecting this component for your optical system. The beam splitter's physical data also includes its shape, which is a thin lens, further contributing to its optical performance.
The BSX05 is currently in stock and available for purchase through the Thorlabs website, as indicated by its weblink status. This beam splitter is a reliable and efficient optical component, ideal for various applications that require beam splitting within the specified wavelength range.
