Summary
[edit]DescriptionLyot-filter.png |
English: This example shows the light's path (red dashed line) through the 1st horizontal polarizer, waveplate and 2nd horizontal polarizer. The 1st polarizer transmits horizontally polarized light to the waveplate at a 45 degree angle to the waveplate's fast and slow transmitting directions. In this example, the waveplate transforms the light's horizontal polarization to circularly polarized light. The 2nd polarizer passes only part of this light, the horizontal component of the circularly polarized light, leading to an overall partial reduction in transmitted light. The waveplate's effect on the light's polarization is wavelength dependent, leading to a wavelength dependent effect on the overall amount of transmitted light. |
