We propose an alternative design of efficient and compact polarization beam splitters for wide-angle and polarization-sensitive incidence of electromagnetic waves at near-infrared frequencies. The designed system is constructed by depositing periodic metallic strips on top and bottom of a continuous metal film. Based on the optimization of structure parameters, the whole system can suppress transmission (~ 0%) for one polarization and enhance transmission for another polarization (~ 95%). This phenomenon of anisotropic transmission can be attributed to different performances of impedance along different polarization directions. This device may find applications in optical components and polarization filter.
