A polarization conversion system includes at least one beam splitting and
combining unit having a polarization beam splitting element and a
dichroic element, a dichroic unit, a polarization beam splitting unit, a
first half wave plate (HWP) and a second half wave plate. The
polarization beam splitting element reflects a first portion beam of the
first light beam and allows a second portion beam of the first light beam
to pass through. The dichroic unit reflects the first portion beam. The
polarization beam splitting unit reflects a third portion beam of a
second light beam and allows a fourth portion beam of the second light
beam to pass through, and the dichroic element reflects the third portion
beam. In addition, the first HWP is disposed between the beam splitting
and combining unit and the polarization beam splitting unit, while the
second HWP is disposed between the beam splitting and combining unit and
the dichroic unit.
