Anti-glare windows LCD Displays Bees can see polarized light ? polarization of blue sky enables them to navigate Humans: Haidinger’s Brush Vikings: Iceland Spar? Many invertebrates can see polarization, e.g. the Octopus Not to navigate (they don’t go far) Perhaps they can see transparent jellyfish better? unpolarized polarized Polarization and Stress Tests In a transparent object, each wavelength of light is polarized by a different angle. Passing unpolarized light through a polarizer, then the object, then another polarizer results in a colorful pattern which changes as one of the polarizers is turned. CD cover seen in polarized light from monitor 3D movies Polarization is also used in the entertainment industry to produce and show 3-D movies. Three-dimensional movies are actually two movies being shown at the same time through two projectors. The two movies are filmed from two slightly different camera locations. Each individual movie is then projected from different sides of the audience onto a metal screen. The movies are projected through a polarizing filter. The polarizing filter used for the projector on the left may have its polarization axis aligned horizontally while the polarizing filter used for the projector on the right would have its polarization axis aligned vertically. Consequently, there are two slightly different movies being projected onto a screen. Each movie is cast by light which is polarized with an orientation perpendicular to the other movie. The audience then wears glasses which have two Polaroid filters. Each filter has a different polarization axis - one is horizontal and the other is vertical. The result of this arrangement of projectors and filters is that the left eye sees the movie which is projected from the right projector while the right eye sees the movie which is projected from the left projector. This gives the viewer a perception of depth. Stokes Parameters where Define STOKES PARAMETERS
