Polarizing beamsplitter cubes offer several advantages over plate beamsplitters. They are easy to handle, high contrast and high-extinction-ratio polarizers that split a randomly polarized beam into two orthogonal, linearly polarized components. These products are typically used in laser-beam separation and combination, and optical-isolation applications. The epoxy-free construction of the cubes enables a superior performance at high energy levels.
