    Default WTB: NON-Polarising Beamsplitter Cube

    Hi all

    I would like to get hold of a NON-Polarising 50/50 Beamsplitter Cube specifically coated for 532nm.

    If anyone has one of these could you please get in touch with a price.

    Thanks

    Just a thought Jem but how about a Dicro set some way off it's optimum performance angle. I'm sure setting it at an certain angle you can get about 50/50 from a Dicro and they are not Polarised sensitive.

    This is for a specific holography setup and the geometry is very important. I have to have a beam passing straight through and the reflected beam exiting at exactly 90 degrees.

    I could use a beamsplitter plate I guess (it has to be exactly 50/50 though), it's just that I have a nice adjustable mount for a cube and in this instance it will fit better into this particular setup.

    Cheers

    I think I've got one if you don't mind the shipping... I think it's a lambda... still new.

    many have missed the boat on this topic - 50/50 for 532 @ EXACTLY 90 degrees...this is not a cheap optic. when you find it post the prices and pics I would NOT use a cube, I would use a 50/50 532 beam splitter

    What's wrong with a cube? I though it was a standard.
