Polarizing beam splitters constructed of form-birefringent multilayer gratings
We introduce a novel polarizing beam splitter that uses the anisotropic spectral reflectivity (ASR) characteristics of a high spatial frequency multilayer binary grating. By combining the form birefringence effect of a high spatial frequency grating with the resonant reflectivity of a periodic multilayer structure, the ASR characteristics for the two orthogonal linear polarizations are obtained...
متن کاملWide-angle, high-extinction-ratio, infrared polarizing beam splitters using frustrated total internal reflection by an embedded centrosymmetric multilayer.
A centrosymmetric multilayer stack of two transparent thin-film materials, which is embedded in a high-index prism, is designed to function as an efficient polarizer or polarizing beam splitter (PBS) under conditions of frustrated total internal reflection over an extended range of incidence angles. The S(LH)(k)LHL(HL)(k)S multilayer structure consists of a high-index center layer H sandwiched ...
متن کاملCoherent, broadband midinfrared terahertz beam sensors
The generation of midinfrared pulses through the optical rectification extended the radiation frequency from a few THz to several tens of THz. The coherent measurement of a detection frequency greater than 5 THz was demonstrated using a GaP and a ZnTe electro-optic sensor. This optoelectronic technique opens the door to the midinfrared ~midIR! region for coherent emission spectroscopy, time-dom...
متن کاملInfrared broadband 50%-50% beam splitters for s-polarized light.
Prisms and slabs made of high-refractive-index materials such as ZnSe, Ge, and Si can be designed as broadband, 50%-50%, beam splitters (BSs) for obliquely incident s- polarized light in the near- and mid-IR. The beam-splitting face of the prism or slab is uncoated, while the exit face is antireflection coated. The split beams travel in orthogonal directions when light is incident at the Brewst...
متن کاملNon-polarizing broadband multilayer reflectors in fish
Dielectric multilayer reflectors that are non-polarizing are an important class of optical device and have numerous applications within optical fibres [1], dielectric waveguides [2] and LEDs [3]. Here we report analyses of a biological non-polarizing optical mechanism found in the broadband guanine-cytoplasm "silver" multilayer reflectors of three species of fish. Present in the fish stratum ar...
