Polarization colors result from the interference of the two components of light split by the anisotropic specimen and may be regarded as white light minus those colors that are interfering destructively. Figure 2 illustrates conoscopic images of uniaxial crystals observed at the objective rear focal plane.

Linear polarization is merely a special case of circularly polarized light. Consider two light waves, one polarized in the YZ plane and the other in the XY plane. If the waves reach their maximum and minimum points at the same time (they are in phase), their vector sum leads to one wave, linearly polarized at 45 degrees.

A comprehensive 'History of Light and Lighting ... Let There Be Light! ... For people that lived before the dawn of history, there was no such thing as a solar system. The world as they understood it, was a small patch of land bounded perhaps by hills and by the blue line of the sea. Overhead was the sky, and across it rode the...

History and Properties of Liquid Crystals ... To understand how a liquid crystal screen works, you must first understand the concept of light polarization. Light is made out of particles called photons. These photons travel at the speed of light.
