What are Beamsplitters?
Polarizing beamsplitters are designed to split light into reflected S-polarized and transmitted P-polarized beams. They can be used to split unpolarized light at a 50/50 ratio, or for polarization separation

PBS (Polarizing Beam Splitter)
A PBS is an optical device that splits a beam of light into two separate beams with orthogonal (perpendicular) polarizations. In simpler terms, it takes unpolarized light and divides it into two

Polarizing Beam-Splitter Prisms
The Rochon prism, invented in 1783, is the most common type of polarizing beam splitter. It is often used in photometric applications in which both beams are utilized.

Beam Splitters – optical power splitter, beamsplitter, thin-film
Some beam splitters are polarizing, others are non-polarizing. There are also devices designed for use with only one polarization direction — for example, with a laser beam as the input, which is in most

Beam splitter
A third version of the beam splitter is a dichroic mirrored prism assembly which uses dichroic optical coatings to divide an incoming light beam into a number of spectrally distinct output beams.
