Advanced manufacturing techniques, such as lithography and ion beam sputtering, are employed to achieve surface flatness and coating uniformity, ensuring that the splitter performs exactly as intended. UltraOpto polarizing beam splitting prisms (PBS) are made using highly uniform optical substrates and ultra-precision coating processes, with the core function of splitting S-polarized light with high reflection and p-polarized light with high transmission, and are widely used in laser systems. Beamsplitters are optical components used to split incident light at a designated ratio into two separate beams. Additionally, beamsplitters can be used in reverse to combine two different beams into a single one. It is a crucial part of many optical experimental and measurement systems, such as interferometers, also finding widespread application in fibre optic telecommunications. While beamsplitters fall into the transmissive category of optical components, they technically perform both reflecting and transmitting.
