Non-Polarizing Beamsplitter (NPBS)

Function of the Non-Polarizing Beamsplitter (NPBS): splits the incident light in a certain energy ratio (e.g. 50:50, 70:30, etc.), and the splitting ratio is independent of the polarization state.

Operating Principle of the Non-Polarizing Beamsplitter
Achieved by a neutral beam splitting coating (metallic or dielectric coating), the reflected and transmitted light contains all polarized components in a constant ratio.
Splitting is more uniform for unpolarized light, e.g. 50:50 NPBS will reflect 50% of the energy and transmit 50% of the energy, regardless of polarization.

What are the properties of the Non-Polarizing Beamsplitter?
Polarization-independent: the spectral ratio remains stable over a wide range of wavelengths and angles of incidence.
Low polarization sensitivity: reflected and transmitted light remains natural light (unpolarized).

What are the applications of the Non-Polarizing Beamsplitter?
General beam splitting systems, interferometers, illumination homogenization, laser power monitoring, etc.
