PBS (Polarization Beam Combiner/Splitter)

The Micro Polarization Beam Combiner/Splitter (Micro PBS) is a device designed to divide a laser beam into two distinct polarization beams. Typically employed in fiber optic communication systems, the Micro PBS serves as a fundamental element in various applications, including polarization management, polarization beam combining, and optical interleaving.
