Polarizing beamsplitters consist of two right angle prisms. One of them is coated with dielectric multi-layer polarizing coating on the hypotenuse face. Polarizing beamsplitters split a monochromatic beam entering at zero degree into p-polarization as transmitted and s-polarization as reflected.
◦Four surfaces of the cube are coated with narrowband multi-layer anti-reflection coatings. ◦The losses of input beam of these products are minimized because of no absorption of the dielectric coatings. ◦For cube beamsplitters, unlike plate beamsplitters, beam deviations of transmitted beams and ghosts rarely occur.
Please contact our Sales Division for customized products. (Customized on size, wavelength etc.)
Plate-type Polarizing Beamsplitters (PBS-C) are also available upon your request.

There is also a high extinction ratio Glan-Thompson prism (GTPB/ GTPC).

Remark

Attention
Input beam from the prism on the side indicated by ○. When the light is incident from the side of the prism without mark, there is a possibility that the characteristics of the transmittance and extinction ratio will change.
The transmittance curves are based on actual measurements and might vary between manufacturing lots.
The surface flatness is the reflected wavefront distortion of the surface before coating.
Be sure to wear laser safety goggles when checking optical path and adjusting optical axis.
