Edmund Optics' Polarizer Selection Guide refines your search for a specific type of polarizer.

Waveplates (retarders) are different when used in polarized light than unpolarized light. Consider terminology, fabrication, or applications at Edmund Optics.

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

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.

Are you looking for a solution to common imaging problems? Discover different polarization techniques to improve your image at Edmund Optics.

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.

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

Differential interference contrast (DIC) is one of the polarization techniques that can be used in optical microscopy. Learn about this technique at Edmund Optics.

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