You need laser components that keep up with high-energy setups. Introducing the high power polarizing beam splitter (PBS). It’s designed to handle strong laser beams while separating light by polarization. Whether you’re cutting metal, welding parts, or running scientific experiments, this PBS ensures your laser system works at its best. Let’s explore why it’s a must-have for your setup.

You might ask: How does a PBS work? A polarizing beam splitter separates light into two beams with different polarizations (think of light waves vibrating in different directions). Our high power version is built to handle intense laser energy without damage. It has two output ports: one for transmitted light (one polarization) and one for reflected light (the other polarization). You use it in laser systems where controlling light polarization is critical for performance.
High-power lasers generate heat and stress—our PBS can handle it. We use durable materials like calcium fluoride or magnesium fluoride in the coating, which resist damage from strong laser beams. The substrate is thick and robust, so it won’t warp or crack under high energy. You can run your laser at full power without worrying about the PBS failing.
You need pure polarized beams for your applications. Our PBS separates light with over 99% polarization extinction ratio, meaning very little cross-talk between the two polarizations. This efficiency ensures your laser beam stays focused and consistent, whether you’re cutting through steel or conducting sensitive research.
Lasers come in many wavelengths—our PBS works with multiple ranges, from infrared to visible light. You don’t need different splitters for each laser type. It’s versatile, making it a smart investment for labs or factories with multiple laser systems.
Here’s the simple version: When a laser beam hits the PBS, it splits into two beams based on their polarization. One beam (usually p-polarized) passes through, and the other (s-polarized) reflects at a 90° angle. You can direct these beams to different parts of your setup—for example, using the transmitted beam for cutting and the reflected beam for monitoring. The high power rating means it won’t absorb too much energy, keeping the splitter cool and functional during long use.
In factories, you need lasers that cut through thick materials quickly. Our PBS directs the polarized beam to the cutting head, ensuring maximum energy transfer for clean, fast cuts. It withstands the heat from continuous operation, so your machine stays productive all day.
In labs, precise polarization control is key for experiments like spectroscopy or interferometry. The PBS lets you isolate specific polarizations for accurate measurements, helping you get reliable data every time.
In healthcare, lasers are used for surgery or skin treatments. The PBS ensures the laser beam is perfectly polarized for safe, effective procedures, minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.
You shouldn’t compromise on quality for your laser system. Our high power polarizing beam splitter delivers durability, efficiency, and versatility—exactly what high-energy applications need. Don’t let polarization issues slow you down—upgrade to a PBS built for your toughest challenges. Your laser will perform better, and you’ll see the difference in results.
