Abstract

The invention discloses a silica nanoparticle brick array polarizing beam splitter, and belongs to the field of micro-nano optics and polarizing optics. The silica nanoparticle brick array polarizing beam splitter comprises a transparent substrate and silica nanoparticle brick arrays evenly distributed on the transparent substrate. Silica nanoparticle bricks are cuboid. The arrangement directions of the silica nanoparticle bricks are the same. When incident light perpendicularly enters the silica nanoparticle brick array polarizing beam splitter, light in the polarization direction along long edges and short edges of the silica nanoparticle bricks is reflected and transmitted. The silica nanoparticle brick array polarizing beam splitter can enable one kind of linearly polarized light to be fully transmitted and the other kind of linearly polarized light to be fully reflected, wherein the two kinds of linearly polarized light are perpendicular to each other in the polarization direction. Accordingly, light in the two polarization states is completely separated, and meanwhile the direction of an optical axis is not changed. The silica nanoparticle brick array polarizing beam splitter can adopt a manufacturing method of a binary optical device, is easily copied and produced on a large scale, and has the advantages of being good in beam splitting effect, small in size, low in weight, compact in structure, easy to integrate and capable of conforming to the development trend of the optical element.
