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.

Fused Silica Windows
UV Fused Silica High-Precision window
Fused silica window, with low thermal expansion,  providing stability and resistance to thermal shock over large temperature excursions, wide thermal operating range and high laser damage threshold, is a better choice for transmission from UV to IR.
BK Right Angle Prisms with AR Coating
BBAR Coated Hypotenuse Right Angle Prisms
Right Angle Prisms are typically used to bend image paths or for redirecting light at 90°. Right Angle Prisms are Prisms designed with a 90° angle. Right Angle Prisms produce inverted or reverted left handed images, depending on the orientation of the prism. Using two Right Angle Prisms together is ideal for image or beam displacement applications. These prisms are also known as image reflection or reflecting prisms.
Sapphire Crystal Windows
AR Coated Sapphire Windows
Sapphire window retains its high strength at high temperatures, has good thermal properties and excellent transparency. It is chemically resistant to common acids and alkali at temperatures up to 1000 °C as well as to HF below 300 °C. These properties encourage its wide use in hostile environments where optical transmission in the range from the vacuum ultraviolet to the near infrared is required.

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.

Germanium (Ge) is the preferred lens and window material for high performance infrared imaging systems in the 8–12 μm wavelength band. Its high refractive index makes Ge ideal for low power imaging systems because of minimum surface curvature. Chromatic aberration is small, often eliminating the need for correction.

2. Silicon (Si) 


Silicon (Si) is grown by Czochralski pulling techniques (CZ) and contains some oxygen that causes an absorption band at 9 microns.To avoid this, material can be prepared by a Float-Zone (FZ) process. Optical silicon is generally lightly doped (5 to 40 ohm cm) for best transmission above 10 microns, and doping is usually boron (P-type) and phosphorus (N-type). After doping silicon has a further pass band: 30 to 100 microns which is effective only in very high resistivity uncompensated material.
 
CZ Silicon is commonly used as substrate material for infrared reflectors and windows in the 1.5-8 micron region. The strong absorption band at 9 microns makes it unsuitable for CO2 laser transmission applications, but it is frequently used for laser mirrors because of its high thermal conductivity and low density. Application as window, lens in the 1.5 - 8 um region; Mirror for CO2 laser and spectrometer applications.

4. ZnSe material


ZnSe is a preferred material for lenses, windows, output couplers and beam expanders for its low absorptivity at infrared wavelengths and its visible transmission. For high-power applications, it’s critical that the material bulk absorption and internal defect structure be carefully controlled, that minimum-damage polishing technology be employed, and the highest quality optical thin-film coatings are used. The material absorption is verified by CO2 laser vacuum calorimetry. Our quality assurance department provides testing and specific optics certification on request.

ZnSe is non-hygroscopic and chemically stable, unless treated with strong acids. It’s safe to use in most industrial field, and laboratory environments.
