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

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

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

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.

Beamsplitters do exactly what their name implies: split incident light beams.

When measuring minuscule particles, many advanced Life Science applications require more power than one laser produces.

Many laser applications are prone to specular reflections back into the source, causing overheating and decreased stability and lifetime.
