Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0068716A1] The invention concerns a polarisation beam splitter comprising a splitting medium included between two transparent elements with specific indices. The splitting medium comprises a periodic structure of layers of materials with different indices of slight pitch when facing the wavelength of an incident beam, so as to form a uniaxial birefringent medium with an optical axis perpendicular to the plane of the periodic structure. The two transparent elements are made of material with index substantially equal to the ordinary index (no) of the periodic structure.
