Home / Products / Beamsplitters / Polarizing Beamsplitter
A polarizing beamsplitter integrates beam splitting and polarization control in one precision element: within the design band it separates incident light according to polarization state into S- and P-polarized beams directed into different output paths. Using thin-film polarizer or polarizing prism structures it achieves controllable ratios (near 50:50 or e.g. 70:30), high extinction ratio (P dominates in transmission, S dominates in reflection) and wide working bands from UV through visible to near-IR, typically at 45° or 0° incidence. It is valuable wherever polarization and light path must be manipulated simultaneously: differential imaging/inspection, polarized fluorescence immunoassay, polarizing microscopy, interferometry, laser-cavity control and projection display (LCD/LCoS) polarization management.
