It features a thickness of 8 mm, making it a robust and durable option for various optical applications. This Beam Splitter is of the Thin BS type, which means it has a low profile and is less likely to introduce optical aberrations.
The BSX18 is designed to operate at a wavelength of 633 nm, making it suitable for applications that use red light. It comes with a specific coating on the front side, identified as "tho 9010uvbs12001600". This coating is a crucial part of the Beam Splitter's functionality, as it controls the reflection and transmission of light. In this case, the BSX18 has a reflection rate of 0.9 and a transmission rate of 0.1, following the 90:10 ratio (R:T).
The material of the BSX18 is UVFS, identified as "uvfs mal- 1965" in the item data. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, making it a popular choice for Beam Splitters and other optical components.
