A
beam splitter device (300, 400, 500, 600) includes an optical
prism (310, 410, 510, 610) having a first
prism body (310a, 410a, 510a, 610a) with a first
optical axis (OA31, OA41, OA51, OA61) connected to a second
prism body (310b, 410b, 510b, 610b) with a second orthogonal
optical axis (OA32, OA42, OA52, OA62) at a first interface (I3, I4, I5, I6) between a second face (f2) of the first prism body (310a, 410a, 510a, 610a) and a third face (f3) of the second prism body (310b, 410b, 510b, 610b). In one aspect a first prism body (310a, 410a, 510a, 610a) includes a first face (f1) that is configured to receive incident light (320, 420, 520, 620), where a second prism body (310b, 410b, 510b, 610b) includes a fourth face (f4) configured to output polarized light (330, 430, 530, 630). In another aspect a fourth face (f4) is antiparallel to the first face (f1), a fourth face (f4) is antiparallel to a first interface (I3, I4, I5, I6), and a polarized light output from a fourth face (f4) of a second prism body (310b, 410b, 510b, 610b) includes one of s-polarized light (S3, S4, S5, S6) and p-polarized light (P3, P4, P5, P6) and extends substantially parallel to a direction (D3, D4) of the incident light (320, 420) received at the first face (f1) of the first prism body (310a, 410a).
