(PG&O: Santa Ana, CA) -- Precision Glass & Optics (PG&O), a global leader in optical manufacturing, precision thin-film coatings, and complete optical solutions, announces a new polarizing beamsplitter cube that splits up the S&P polarization of light with extinction ratios from Tp/Ts 1,000:1 and Rs/Rp 1,000:1. PG&O’s specialty beamsplitters are designed to work with lasers and are well-suited for other optical applications.

The entrance and exit faces of the cube beamsplitters are carefully coated with anti-reflection (AR) coatings to greatly improve the performance of the cube. With advanced optical coatings from PG&O that operate from 200 nm to 2500 nm, these innovative beamsplitters can be customized to meet the critical specifications of customers.

 “With our new capability, our 1,000:1 extinction ratios fully maximize the split between S&P polarization which is an essential factor in many laser tasks,” says PG&O president, Dan Bukaty Jr. “With the new transmission and reflection ratios, we elevate our level of proficiency in beamsplitter thin-film coating technology. We’re excited to provide this expanded offering to new and existing customers.”
