Product Description
  • Separates the p-polarized and s-polarized components of incident light
  • Double-sided narrowband polarizing beamsplitter coating design; Extinction Ratio: Tp:Ts > 10, 000:1 at 45° AOl
  • UV Fused Silica substrate, with 9 operating wavelengths available from 405 nm to 1550 nm
  • Two Size Options Available: Circular (25.4 mm diameter) and Rectangular (36 mm × 25 mm)
LBTEK's Polarizing Plate Beamsplitters are polarizing optical components used to separate the P- and S-polarization components of incident light, transmitting P-polarized light while reflecting S-polarized light. Manufactured from UV Fused Silica, each beamsplitter features a narrowband polarizing coating on both entrance and exit faces and is available at nine standard wavelengths: 405 nm, 532 nm, 780 nm, 808 nm, 1030 nm, 1064 nm, 1310 nm, and 1550 nm. At a 45° AOI, these beamsplitters achieve an extinction ratio of Tp:Ts > 10,000:1. However, deviating from this angle will result in a decrease in the extinction ratio. LBTEK offers both circular and rectangular plate beamsplitters. The circular version (Ø25.4 mm) has a thickness of 5.0 mm and features a side-surface engraved arrow pointing toward the entrance face, while its exit face is engineered with a 30 arcmin wedge to suppress ghost images. Conversely, the rectangular version (25 mm × 36 mm) features a slim 1.0 mm profile without a wedge, making it ideal for space-constrained applications and supporting dual-side incidence. LBTEK provides high-performance Polarizing Plate Beamsplitters and a variety of customization services, including different materials, wavelengths, dimensions, and thicknesses.

  • Transmits p-polarized light and reflects s-polarized light
  • Double-sided narrowband polarizing beamsplitter coating; Extinction Ratio Tp:Ts > 10000:1 at 45°AOI
  • 30 arcmin wedge design on the back surface to reduce ghosting

LBTEK's Polarizing Plate Beamsplitters are polarizing optical components used to separate the different polarization components (p and s) of incident light. They can be used to obtain two linearly polarized beams with orthogonal polarization directions. Unlike traditional polarizing plate beamsplitters designed for the Brewster angle, LBTEK's Polarizing Plate Beamsplitters are optimized for a 45° AOI, achieving an extinction ratio of Tp:Ts > 10000:1.
