Non-polarizing beamsplitter prism (NPBS) UBPBS005
A non-polarizing beamsplitter (NPBS), also called an NPBS cube beamsplitter, is a more complex type made from two right-angle prisms joined at their hypotenuse faces. Before bonding, the cementing face of one prism receives a metal-dielectric coating with the required reflection characteristics, a specified reflection percentage, and color. Coating absorption loss is minimized, and transmission and reflection ratios can be set to 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and other values.

Key Features
A non-polarizing beamsplitter is made by cementing a pair of precision, high-tolerance right-angle prisms, with a metal-dielectric coating on the hypotenuse of one prism. The coating provides low polarization sensitivity, keeping differences between S- and P-polarized transmission and reflection within 5%. The source states that the incident polarization is therefore unchanged. Broadband and single-wavelength NPBS cubes are available. Antireflection coatings on every face maximize transmission over the appropriate wavelength range. These beamsplitters divide energy with minimal polarization sensitivity, leaving incident and reflected beams with substantially the same polarization state. The hybrid coating of broadband NPBS cubes has some absorption but the lowest polarization sensitivity. Its metallic nature makes these cube beamsplitters unsuitable for high-power lasers.
