Design rules for wire grid polarizers, used as polarizing beamsplitters and reflective polarizers for polarization recycling, are found to be different. Wire grid polarizers with low fill factors of ∼0.18–0.25 are found to be more efficient in polarization recycling than regular polarizers with fill factors of ∼0.4–0.6.
