Thank you for your suggestions.
You have right, with birefringence cristall the task will be easier to
fullfill then with some combination of small size beam splitter, prism
and wedge prism or even additional plan plate.

The power in the beams should be the same.

but some calcit cristalls, in small size (5x5x5mm^3), coated with
AR@1miciron and power density < 20kW/cm^2 ???? will be stable and
reliable for commercial installations?
what about the price?

Sebastian, you will have to inquire with fabricators of calcite to answer
these questions. In the US, Karl Lambrecht corporation is a good source.
If calcite does not work for you, and you have a production application, you
could try Agilent.

Agilent (used to be Hewlett-Packard) has recently been advertising their
capability in what they call "complex monolithic optics". These are exactly
what you are talking about.
