Abstract

The invention relates to the field of electromagnetic wave polarization beam splitting, and discloses a polarization beam splitting element and device. The polarization beam splitting element comprises dielectric films and metal films, wherein the dielectric films and the metal films are periodically alternately stacked. A dielectric film and a metal film constitute a periodic repeating unit, andthe average dielectric constant of the periodic repeating unit is zero. When light is incident at an interface parallel to the polarization beam splitting element, transverse electric waves and transverse magnetic waves in the light can be separated due to the dispersion relationship in the polarization beam splitting element. According to the difference in the thickness ratio of the dielectric films and the metal films in the periodic repeating units, the polarization beam splitting element has two working modes which can be flexibly selected under different requirements. The polarization beam splitting element in the structure has the advantages of simple structure, easy preparation and wide material selection, is much smaller than the existing polarizing beam splitter, is easy to integrate, and has a wide application prospect in optical communications and integrated optical paths.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of electromagnetic wave polarization beam splitting, and in particular relates to a polarization beam splitting element and device. Background technique [0002] Polarized light is used extensively in modern optical testing and optical applications. When an ordinary light wave propagates in an ordinary medium, it is not in a complete polarization state, but a composite state including two mutually orthogonal polarization states of a transverse electric wave (Transverse electric, TE) and a transverse magnetic wave (Transverse magnetic, TM). Polarizing beam splitters can separate these two orthogonal polarization states in space, and have extensive and important applications in traditional optical optical circuits, optical communications, and integrated optical circuits. [0003] There are three types of traditional polarizing beam splitters, mainly including: [0004] Polarizing beam splitter with dielectric multilay...
