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

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

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

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

Seeing around corners is no longer science fiction thanks to ultrafast lasers and sensitive cameras

The length of a laser resonator determines the laser’s resonator modes, or the electric field distributions that cause a standing wave in the cavity.
