Description

The OPTOMAN PP-UVFS-25.4-6.35-NPBS14-AR622 is a premium ion beam sputtered (IBS) non-polarizing beam splitter engineered for demanding optical systems operating at 1550 nm and a 45° angle of incidence. Manufactured from high-purity UV-grade fused silica (Corning 7980 0F), it delivers an exceptionally balanced 50/50 reflection and transmission ratio for both s- and p-polarized light while minimizing polarization-dependent losses.

Designed for high-performance photonics applications, this optical component combines excellent wavefront quality, low scatter, and durable IBS coatings to provide stable long-term performance in precision laser communication, interferometry, optical metrology, and advanced research systems. Its high optical quality and low-loss anti-reflection coating make it an excellent choice wherever beam uniformity and polarization preservation are critical.
