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

Understanding the polarization of laser light is critical for many applications, as polarization impacts reflectance, focusing the beam, and other key behaviors.

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

The polarization state of a laser source is important for many different applications.

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

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

Polarizers are used in a wide range of imaging and research and development applications.

Beamsplitters do exactly what their name implies: split incident light beams.

While working with machine vision, there are different types of filters that can be used to alter the image. Find out about the different types at Edmund Optics.
