Polarizing Beamsplitter Cubes

Polarization Beamsplitter Cubes are constructed by cemented two right angle prisms, the hypotenuse of one prism is coated with polarization dielectric coating.

When used with normal incident, un-polarized light, the incident beam is separated into two polarized beams, p-polarized component is passed straight through, s-polarized component is reflected out at 90deg.

1、What is a Polarizing Beamsplitter Cube?


A polarizing beamsplitter cube consists of two right angle prisms cemented together. The hypotenuse face of one prism is coated with a special multi layer dielectric coating. When circularly polarized or natural light enters the cube vertically, it separated into two linearly polarized beams. The transmitted beam is P-polarized while the reflected beam is S-polarized.  And when a linearly polarized light comes in, it similarly divided into two beams. But the energy ratio of the two outgoing beams depends on the polarization of the incident beam. Polarizing beamsplitter cubes are available for many laser wavelengths and broadband ranges.

 

2、How does a polarizing beamsplitter Cube work?


Polarizing Beamsplitter is designed to split unpolarized light at a specific Reflection/Transmission (R/T) ratio with unspecified polarization tendencies. 

Polarizing beamsplitters are designed to split light into reflected S-polarized and transmitted P-polarized beams.

 

3、What is a Polarizing beamsplitter Cube used for?


Beamsplitter is also a kind of filter, it is used to split or combine laser beam. However Polarization BeamSplitters are used to split or combine two perpendicular polarization laser beam. The performance of beam splitter depends on the coating specifications.  They are common components in laser or illumination systems. Also ideal for fluorescence applications, optical interferometry, or life science or semiconductor instrumentation. Light can be split by percentage of overall intensity, wavelength, or polarization state. 


To select a suitable beamsplitter, you need to consider the type, coating, transmission range and damage threshold.

Non-Polarizing Cube Beamsplitters (NPBS)
Non-Polarizing Cube Beamsplitters also called NPBS Cube is a more sophisticated type consisting of two right- angle prisms cemented together at their hypotenuse faces.The cemented face of one prism is coated. Before cementing, with a metallic or dielectric layer having the desired reflecting properties, both in the percentage of reflection and the desired color. The absorption loss to the coating is minimal and transmission and reflection could be designed to 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, etc.
Plano-Concave Lenses
Optical Glass Plano-Concave Lenses
Plano Concave Lenses are ideal for beam expansion, light projection, or for expanding an optical system's focal length. Plano Concave Lenses, which have one concave surface, are Optical Lenses with negative focal lengths. PCV Lenses should be shaped with the plano, or flat, surface towards the desired focal plane. PCV Lenses are ideal for use in a range of applications or industries. Uni-Optics offers PCV lenses with a variety of coating options.

4) Protected Gold: Ravg > 98% from 650nm to 16um



2、What are the features of Metallic coated mirror?


Metallic coated mirror have many key features below:

Wide spectral range

Not sensitive to the incidence angle and polarization state

Low cost

Non-durable

Relatively low reflectance

Low laser damage threshold


3、What UNI Optics can do for you?


Common Specifications:

Substrate Materials: N-BK7, Fused silica, Pyrex;Float glass

Dimensional tolerance: +/-0.1mm

Surface quality:  60-40

Parallelism:  3’

Flatness: λ/4 per 25mm@633nm

Note: Aluminum is the most widely used metal reflection film, from near UV to near IR, have high reflectivity, and with low cost. Silver has higher reflectivity in the visible and near infrared wavelength than the aluminum film, but the silver in the air will be rapid oxidation, color darkening, makes the film performance and firmness declined rapidly. Gold film has a good consistency with high reflectivity in the near, middle and far infrared range, can control the thermal radiation effectively, but it is relatively soft, easy bruising, and should be paid very close attention to clean, and the cost is very high.
