Linear Polarizers
Un-polarized light is a complex mixture of random wavefronts transverse to the line of travel. Linear polarizing filters selectively absorb light vibrations in certain planes. When light is passes though a linear polarizer its vibrations are confined to a single linear plane.

The linearly polarized light can then be used in application such as:

XP42 Linear Polarizer

Un-polarised light is a complex mixture of random wave-fronts transverse to the line of travel. Linear polarising filters selectively absorb light vibrations in certain planes. When light passes though a linear polariser its vibrations are confined to a single linear plane.

XP42 is the idea replacement material for the old Polaroid material HN22, HN32, HN38s and HN42.

Linearly polarised light can be used in applications such as:

Continuously variable density light filters

Optical instrumentation such as microscopes

Studio lighting and photography

3d projection and glasses
