Abstract

We report a new type of beam splitter capable of producing a division of light in a polarization-independent manner. Most off-axis beam splitters have a pronounced polarization dependence. An experimental device with a splitting ratio of about 7 dB varied less than ±0.1 dB as a function of incident linear polarization. The device is fabricated from a thin plate of suitably oriented, uncoated, crystalline quartz.
