Wire Grid Polarizing Cube Beamsplitters

×
  • High Contrast Over Large Angles of Incidence
  • Low Color Shift at Large Angles
  • Ideal for Uncollimated Light Sources

Wire Grid Polarizing Cube Beamsplitters are designed for applications using uncollimated light, such as with a broadband white light source. Wire Grid Polarizing Cube Beamsplitters consist of a wire grid polarizer cemented between two precision high tolerance right angle prisms. An anti-reflection coating has been applied to each face of the beamsplitter to provide less than 0.5% average reflection per surface. Additionally, these beamsplitters maintain their contrast spectrally from 400 – 700nm and over a large cone angle of ±25°.
