Polarizing Beamsplitter Prism UPBS010
A polarizing beamsplitter cube consists of two cemented right-angle prisms, one with a polarizing dielectric coating on its hypotenuse. With normally incident unpolarized light, the input splits into two polarized beams: P-polarized light passes straight through, while S-polarized light is reflected at 90°.

Applications
A beamsplitter is also a filter for splitting and combining laser beams. A polarizing beamsplitter splits or combines two orthogonally polarized laser beams, with performance determined by its coating specifications. Common in laser and illumination systems, it is also suitable for fluorescence, optical interferometry, life sciences, and semiconductor instrumentation. Light can be split by a percentage of total intensity, by wavelength, or by polarization state. Selection requires consideration of type, coating, transmission range, and damage threshold.
Key Features
A polarizing beamsplitter consists of two bonded right-angle prisms, with a special multilayer dielectric coating on the hypotenuse of one prism. Circularly polarized or natural light entering the cube normally splits into two linearly polarized beams: transmitted P-polarized light and reflected S-polarized light. Incident linearly polarized light also splits into two beams, but their energy ratio depends on the incident polarization. These cubes are available for many laser wavelengths and broadband ranges. The source also describes the design as splitting unpolarized light at a specified reflectance/transmittance ratio (r/t), with an unspecified polarization tendency. Polarizing beamsplitters are designed to separate light into reflected S polarization and transmitted P polarization.
