2. General Description

The Non-Polarizing Beamsplitter is designed with a unique coating that allows it to efficiently split light with minimal polarization dependence. Utilizing a metallic/dielectric hybrid coating, the beamsplitter allows both transmission and reflection for S and P polarized light to remain within 6% of each other, providing reliable performance across different lighting conditions and applications. Its high transmission properties make it suitable for use in various industries, including military, aerospace sciences, bio-medical instruments, spectral analysis, and high-precision optical systems. The beamsplitter has applications in optical instruments that require precise light manipulation with minimal loss and distortion.

4. Coating Quality

• Adhesion Test: The product adheres to MIL-C-675C military standards, where tape meeting LT-90 specifications was applied to the lens film. It was removed vertically three times without any blistering or peeling.
• Temperature Test: Test pieces were subjected to temperatures of -62±1°C and 71±1°C, followed by a room temperature restoration for 2 hours. No film detachment was observed.
• Abrasion Resistance Test: Conforming to MIL-C-675C and CCC-C-440 standards, the abrasion resistance test involved applying a minimum force of 1.0 lbs (0.45 kg) to the film for 25 cycles with no surface damage.
• Humidity Test: The film remained intact after 24 hours in a controlled humidity chamber (49±2°C and 95%-100% humidity).
• Solvent and Cleaning Test: After exposure to acetone and alcohol for 10 minutes, and air drying, the film showed no signs of peeling or scratching.
• Salt Spray Test: The film underwent 100 hours of exposure to a 5% saltwater concentration at 35°C with no damage.
