Michael Harper for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online For years and years, even in the early days of cinema and television, engineers and researchers have tried to craft a way to add the illusion of depth to projected images. We’ve long relied on glasses in order to achieve this 3D effect, and while the glasses we use now are a far cry away from the paper blue-and-red lenses we once wore, many are still attempting to create a lens free solution. Now, an optics research team from...

American Polarizers Inc. has announced the acquisition of a precision waterjet cutting machine to be used in the fabrication of the company's polarizing glass filters and other light filtering/polarizing products. API will now offer waterjet optical glass cutting services in addition to film and plastic laser cutting. Configured especially for cutting optical glass, API's waterjet cutting service leaves a chip-free finish with smooth edges so that no grinding is needed which saves...

Researchers from North Carolina State University and ImagineOptix Corporation have developed new technology to convert unpolarized light into polarized light, which makes projectors that use liquid crystal (LC) technology almost twice as energy efficient. The new technology has resulted in smaller, lower cost and more efficient projectors, meaning longer battery life and significantly lower levels of heat. All LC projectors – used from classrooms to conference rooms – utilize polarized...

American Polarizers Inc. glass 3D circular polarizing filters are manufactured with careful attention given to polarized light transmission relative to extinction. An optimum balance between transmission and extinction results in a clear 3D image with low distortion and superior 3D separation of left and right-handed images. Reading, PA (PRWEB) March 02, 2012 American Polarizers Inc. (API), a world leader in the manufacture of polarized filters and other optical products, has introduced...

New circular polarizing filter may replace existing multi-layer approach to achieve the ability to see through dust and clouds As sophisticated as the human eye is, it does not compare to what the latest scientific achievement has to offer in enhancing what can be visually perceived. Funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), the development of a new circular polarization filter by a collaborative team of scientists at the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) and ITN...

Terahertz polarizer nears perfection Researchers at Rice University are using carbon nanotubes as the critical component of a robust terahertz polarizer that could accelerate the development of new security and communication devices, sensors and non-invasive medical imaging systems as well as fundamental studies of low-dimensional condensed matter systems. The polarizer developed by the Rice lab of Junichiro Kono, a professor of electrical and computer engineering and of physics and...
