Description
Standard Cube Beamsplitters are precision optical components designed to split a beam of light into two separate paths. These beamsplitters are meticulously crafted by cementing two right angle prisms together, creating a robust and reliable optical device. The hypotenuse surface of one of the prisms is coated with an interference coating, which determines the reflection and transmission ratios. This construction ensures that the beamsplitters offer a range of reflection/transmission ratios, making them versatile for various optical applications.
The high-quality construction of the Standard Cube Beamsplitters minimizes absorption loss, ensuring that the maximum amount of light is utilized in your optical system. The materials used, such as N-BK7 equivalent glass, are chosen for their excellent optical clarity and durability. These beamsplitters are available in standard dimensions of 10mm, 12.7mm, and 25.4mm, with the option for custom designs to meet specific requirements. The scratch and dig specifications, ranging from 60/40 to 40/20, ensure a pristine optical surface, while the flatness is maintained at λ/4 to guarantee precise optical performance.
It is important to note that the output from these beamsplitters is partially polarized. If polarization sensitivity is a critical factor for your application, it is advisable to consider using Polarizing Beamsplitters or Broadband Non-Polarizing Cube Beamsplitters for optimal results. With a wavelength range of 400-700nm, these beamsplitters are suitable for a wide array of optical tasks, providing reliable and consistent performance in various settings.
