Non-polarizing Cube Half Mirrors

NPCH

Half mirrors have an even 1:1 ratio of reflection and transmission in both linear polarized light and normal light source.

Optics & Optical Coatings
  • The reflection to transmission ratio is 1:1 regardless of the polarization condition from the input beam.
  • Depending on polarization, the reflection to transmission ratio of these products does not vary.
  • The laser lines listed correspond to various laser wavelengths.
  • Narrowband multi-layer AR coatings are applied to the four surfaces of the cube.
  • These cubes afe designed for a single wavelenght because the effective bandwidth of a non-polarizing coating is narrow.
