PBS PBF Series Datasheet
ProFlux® beamsplitter Nanowire® Technology is optimized to operate at 45°,
providing durable polarizing beamsplitters. These beamsplitters can be used for
a variety of both imaging and non-imaging applications for display products
and scientific instruments. The ProFlux polarizing beamsplitter’s wide angular
aperture, excellent performance and exceptional reliability offer an excellent
design choice.
Made with highly durable materials, ProFlux provides pure polarization that gives
a high contrast and bright image for the life of the projector. ProFlux polarization
mechanism aligns ideally with the LC display and has excellent polarization
uniformity even over large apertures, providing bright, high contrast, long-lasting
displays.
