HOYA has developed this glass polarizer using light absorption of copper particles created by an electron plasma resonance mechanism. This polarizer contains elongated copper particles aligned along a common axis. This feature produces a high performance polarization with high isolation and low insertion loss. With its low thickness, it is compact enough for the most miniaturized optical components.HOYA's polarizer shows no performance degradation in most Telcordia environmental conditions. It is particularly suited for applications in optical communication where high reliability is required.
Polarizing filters are used to eliminate glare on non-metallic surfaces like glass or water. They can also be used to increase the contrast and color saturation of your images. I use my polarizer not only to eliminate glare, but also to make skies a nice shade of blue or to get "pop" out of clouds. There are many options to consider when purchasing the Polarizing filter for your needs. For instance, linear vs. circular, film or digital versions, or quality vs. price, Ci … more
