Note:

Classic Glan Laser type prisms (PGT, PGM, and PGL Series) suffer a small, unavoidable loss at the two internal calcite-air interfaces. This loss is avoided in the Brewster type (PBI Series) by presenting the P polarized transmitted beam to these interfaces at Brewster's angle. The result is a high power, low loss polarizer that does not need AR coating.

The user should be aware of two important considerations in the use of Brewster Polarizer (PBI polarizers). First, stringent angular acceptance requirements dictate use with collimated beams only. Second, the transmitted beam has a relatively large parallel beam displacement with respect to the incident beam.
