Overview: Polarizing Beamsplitter Cubes are formed from two right angle, 45° prisms permanently cemented
together. The hypotenuse is coated with an all dielectric, polarization
sensitive coating designed to separate an incident, unpolarized,
monochromatic beam into its S and P polarization components.All
entrance and exit surfaces are coated with a high efficiency,
narrowband, anti-reflection coating. The extinction ratio (Tp/Ts) exceeds 1000:1 in the transmitted
beam. The two orthogonally polarized beams emerge from the cube at
90° with respect to each other.
