(5.4s) Beam splitters do exactly what their name implies, split a beam. There are a couple different types of beam splitters. A standard beam splitter will split the beam by a percentage of the intensity, such as 50% transmission and 50% reflection, or 30% transmission and 70% reflection. Non-polarizing beam splitters are specifically controlled not to alter the S and P polarization states of the incoming light. Polarizing beam splitters will transmit P polarization and reflect S polarization, allowing the user to add polarized light into a system. Dichroic beam splitters split incoming light by wavelength and are commonly used in fluorescence applications to separate the excitation and emission paths. (6.1s)
