Polarizers are optical components designed to filter, modify, or analyze the various polarization states of light.

Waveplates and retarders are optical components designed to transmit light while modifying its polarization state without attenuating, deviating, or displacing the beam.

Optical Engineer Katie Schwertz explains how 3D movies work because of polarization in a kid-friendly way.

Polarization Directed Flat Lenses, which are formed with polymerized liquid crystal thin-film, create a focal length that is dependent on polarization state.

Optics and the manipulation of light are critical for countless applications that save lives and improve quality of life across the world
