This is the fourth article in a six-part series on light polarization. In this post, we explore real-world applications of polarizers—from reducing glare in sunglasses and underwater photography to advanced imaging, laser control, LCD screens, and even astronomy and quantum communication. Discover how polarization enables technologies across science, defense, and everyday life.

This is the third article in a six-part series on light polarization. In this post, we explore polarizers—key optical components that filter specific polarizations of light. Learn about different types of polarizers, including wire-grid, Polaroid, Brewster-angle setups, and birefringent materials, and how they function to control and manipulate polarized light.
