Our US offices will be closed Saturday, May 25th through Monday, May 27th in observance of the Memorial Day holiday. We will reopen on Tuesday, May 28th at 8 AM EST.
For applications that require a beam to be split or reflected, Thorlabs offers polarizing cubes and beamsplitter plates mounted on flexure bases. The base allows for tip, tilt, and rotational adjustment for precision beam alignment and steering control. The modules are mounted to provide easy access to the adjustment mechanism without interfering with the beam path. Care should be taken to choose a mount that directs the beam to the correct port's path so that the adjusting screws are in a convenient position for the required setup. Please see the Pin Configuration Tab for help in selecting between vertical and horizonal mounting orientations, as well as left and right handed orientations.
The flexure base has two basic pin mounting orientations: vertical and horizontal. Although the vertical pin configuration is the most common, both the vertical and horizontal pins are compatible with our FiberBenches. Please be careful about sending the beam to an available port. A vertical pin configuration is defined as having the pins mounted parallel to the rotation adjustment screw. In the horizontal configuration, the pins will be mounted perpendicular to the rotation adjustment screw.
The flexture bases are also seperated by handedness: right or left. The right or left designation will determine the orientation of the cube, plate, or mirror with respect to the rotation adjustment screw and refers to how the beam will be turned. See the sketches and diagrams below for help in selecting a component.

Response from Javier at Thorlabs to ctnono: Thank you for contacting us with your request. I have sent a copy of the Autocad pdf drawing for the PSCLB-HR-1550 to your e-mail address.

Dear,
In item of PSCLB-HR-1550 series, your website of datasheet was broken. Could you please send it to me. Thanks a lot.
Best Regards,

These modules consist of a polarizing beamsplitter cube mounted on a flexure base. Each module provides a polarization-dependent split with an extinction ratio that is better than 1,000:1. These modules are useful for polarization-dependent measurements and applications that require a spatial beam overlap. Please see the Pin Configuration tab for help in selecting between vertical and horizonal mounting orientations, as well as left- and right-handed orientations. Please contact FiberBench@Thorlabs.com for special wavelengths.
These modules consist of a narrow-band non-polarizing beamsplitter plate mounted on a flexure base. These plate beamsplitters provide a 4:96 split and are useful for beam sampling applications. Please see the Pin Configuration tab for help in selecting between vertical and horizonal mounting orientations, as well as left- and right-handed orientations. For wavelengths besides the ones listed below, please contact FiberBench@Thorlabs.com.
These modules consist of a narrow-band non-polarizing beamsplitter plate mounted on a flexure base. These plate beamsplitters are useful for beam sampling applications or applications that require a relatively flat and neutral 50:50 split. Please see the Pin Configuration tab for help in selecting between vertical and horizonal mounting orientations, as well as left- and right-handed orientations. For wavelengths besides the ones listed below, please contact FiberBench@Thorlabs.com.
