Orthogonal polarization transflectors

The orthogonal polarization transflector has a special characteristic that the reflected and the transmitted polarized lights from the transflector have mumally orthogonal polarization states. For instance, if a transflector reflects a horizontal linearly (or right-handed circularly) polarized
