... Experiment VIII.1: Birefringence and Optical Isolation In this experiment the birefringence of a material will be used to change the polarization of the laser beam. You will use a quarter-wave plate and a polarizer to build an optical isolator. This is a useful device that ensures that light is not ...

... -- most famous discovery — reflected light is partially or fully polarized (Brewster’s angle) It was said of him that "nobody ever had dealings with him and escaped a quarrel." He became one of the last and most contentious opponents of the wave theory of light, leading the final struggles in the 18 ...

Polarizer



A polarizer or polariser is an optical filter that passes light of a specific polarization and blocks waves of other polarizations. It can convert a beam of light of undefined or mixed polarization into a beam with well-defined polarization, polarized light. The common types of polarizers are linear polarizers and circular polarizers. Polarizers are used in many optical techniques and instruments, and polarizing filters find applications in photography and liquid crystal display technology. Polarizers can also be made for other types of electromagnetic waves besides light, such as radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays.
