Abstract
In order to study the effect of incident angles on the characteristics of symmetric periodic multilayer polarizing beam sputter (PBS),based on equivalent layers concept and stop-hand theory, the bandwidth of spectrum and transmittance change with incident angles were analyzed with the graphical method. The transmittance spectrum of(LHL)^N PBS was measured with a UV3101-PC spectrometer.The experimental results show that the bandwidth spectrum becomes wider and then narrower with incident angles increase, so there is a maximum bandwidth. Taking the point corresponding to the maximum bandwidth as a reference point, the transmittance spectrum moves to longer-wave band and appears hollow aperture with the incident angle decreases;on the other hand,the transmittance spectrum moves to shorter-wave band with the incident angle
increases.The experimental results are consistent with theoretical ones.The results provide an important reference for design and optimization of the symmetric periodic multilayer PBS.
