A nonabsorbing polarizing optical beam splitter is described comprising a transparent substrate supporting a layer of adjacent flat beam-splitting channels. Each of the beam-splitting channels abuts respective adjacent channels at a 90 DEG angle to form a contiguous alternating orientation relative to the substrate. Each of the beam-splitting channels reflects a first polarization component of a light beam oriented parallel to the beam-splitting channels, and allows a second remaining polarization component of the light beam to pass through the plurality of beam-splitting channels relatively unperturbed.
