Hey everyone, I am just getting into optics and am having a few issues.. Ill try to explain this best I can and can provide more pictures.
I am trying to combine two 445 beams into one. I ordered a 445 coated PBS cube from stanwaxlaser.
The problem I am having is it seems no matter how I orientate the cube the beam passes straight through. It's also splits the beam in two directions.
If that's true when I have both lasers up and running there will be a reflection from laser A directly into laser B. is this normal? could that damage the diode? Is this a problem with the cube quality?

I've rotated the cube 90deg. several times and the beam tends to go straight through but splits the beams in different directions. I am provide more pictures.

In the photo the beams are going ^>

Thanks for looking.
