  2. Polaroid (polarizer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polaroid_(polarizer)

    Light polarized parallel to the chains is absorbed, and light polarized perpendicular to the chains is transmitted. [2] Another type of Polaroid is the K-sheet polarizer, which consists of aligned polyvinylene chains in a PVA polymer created by dehydrating PVA. This polarizer material is particularly resistant to humidity and heat.

  3. Sunglasses - Wikipedia

    The lenses should fit close enough to the face that only very little "stray light" can reach the eye from their sides, or from above or below, but not so close that the eyelashes smear the lenses. To protect against "stray light" from the sides, the lenses should fit close enough to the temples or merge into broad temple arms or leather blinders.

  4. Polaroid Eyewear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polaroid_Eyewear

    Polaroid Eyewear manufactures polarized sunglasses and polarized lenses, as well as optical frames, reading glasses, and clip-on lenses. Polaroid Eyewear was a part of the StyleMark group and sold to the Safilo Group in November 2011. Polaroid headquarters is located in Padua (Italy).

  5. Polarizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizer

    So incident light polarized parallel to the chains is absorbed by the sheet; light polarized perpendicularly to the chains is transmitted. The durability and practicality of Polaroid makes it the most common type of polarizer in use, for example for sunglasses, photographic filters, and liquid crystal displays. It is also much cheaper than ...

    Polaroid film, instant film, and photographs; Polaroid B.V., a Dutch manufacturer of instant film and cameras, owner of Polaroid Corporation's brand and intellectual property; Polaroid (polarizer), a type of synthetic plastic sheet used to polarize light; Polaroid Eyewear, with glare-reducing polarized lenses made from Polaroid's polarizer

  7. Glasses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasses

    Polarized 3D glasses allow for color 3D, while the red-blue lenses produce an image with distorted coloration. An active shutter 3D system uses electronic shutters. Head-mounted displays can filter the signal electronically and then transmit light directly into the viewer's eyes. Anaglyph and polarized glasses are distributed to audiences at 3D ...

  8. Nicol prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicol_prism

    It is an optical device made from calcite crystal used to convert ordinary light into plane polarized light. It is made in such a way that it eliminates one of the rays by total internal reflection , i.e. the ordinary ray is eliminated and only the extraordinary ray is transmitted through the prism .

  9. Crystal optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_optics

    Crystal optics is the branch of optics that describes the behaviour of light in anisotropic media, that is, media (such as crystals) in which light behaves differently depending on which direction the light is propagating. The index of refraction depends on both composition and crystal structure and can be calculated using the Gladstone–Dale ...
