Optical system which utilizes polarized light

An optical system includes comprising a polarizing element in the form of a layer which comprises an isotropic material having a refractive index ni and an anisotropic material having refractive indices na,e and na,o. The refractive index ni is substantially equal to na,e or na,o. The optical system...

Zusammenfassung:An optical system includes comprising a polarizing element in the form of a layer which comprises an isotropic material having a refractive index ni and an anisotropic material having refractive indices na,e and na,o. The refractive index ni is substantially equal to na,e or na,o. The optical system includes a retroflector for back-reflecting the polarization component diffused in the polarizing element.
