Abstract: A light engine has a light source front surface that emits non-collimated light. A collection lens collects the non-collimated light and provides incompletely collimated light. A collimating lens receives the incompletely collimated light and provides a collimated image. A non-orthogonal polarizing filter receives the collimated image and passes a polarized portion of the collimated image as a direct component of the polarized light engine image. The non-orthogonal polarizing filter reflects a recycled image back to the front surface. The non-orthogonal shape of the polarizing filter is selected according to the pattern of light on the light source front surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a triple prism which reflects light, a reflector and to a method for recognising an object. A reflective photoelectric barrier sends light to a reflector. The reflector does not answer with the form of the obtained light signal, but with a double signal which projects two light centres. The reflector can also be embodied such that it answers with a different geometric figure than the light projection. The reflector with a modified signal enables a sensor system to be produced and which can verify, by evaluating the light signal captured by the reflector, whether the captured signal of the reflector or another reflection.

Abstract: A thin polarizer array and a wavelength plate array that are composed of micro regions having different optical axis directions and wavelength characteristics and have a high extinction ratio and a low insertion loss, and a polarization analyzer using them are disclosed. An array of micro periodic grooves are formed on a substrate, with the directions changed from one region to another. An alternating multilayer film formed by alternating a layer of high refractive index material such as Si or Ta2O5 and a layer of low refractive index material such as SiO2 is formed by bias sputtering. By selecting a condition that each layer maintains its periodic projecting/recessed shape, an array of photonic crystal polarizer is formed. By mounting this array of photonic crystal polarizer in a photodetector array, a polarization analyzer that is small, has no movable part, is composed of a small number of components, and enables high-precision measurement is constituted.

Abstract: An illumination optical apparatus is able to well suppress a change in a polarization state of light in an optical path and to illuminate a surface to be illuminated, with light in a desired polarization state or in an unpolarized state. The illumination optical apparatus illuminates the surface to be illuminated (M), based on light with a polarization degree of not less than 0.9 supplied from a light source (1). The illumination optical apparatus comprises a polarization setter (4, 10) disposed in the optical path between the light source and the surface to be illuminated, and adapted for setting a polarization state of light reaching the surface to be illuminated, to a predetermined polarization state, and a holding member for supporting one optical surface of at least one optically transparent member incorporated in an optical system in the optical path between the light source and the surface to be illuminated, at three points located in three regions respectively.

Abstract: The present application describes color management architecture for a three-panel projection system that utilizes color selective polarization filters (CSPF) and polarizing beam splitting elements (1104,1106,11089). An exemplary embodiment describes a color management architecture with a dichroic input beam splitter (1302) and three polarizing beam splitters (1104,1106,1108). An output polarizing beam splitter is used as an analyzer. The color management system architecture can isolate any color channel from those remaining whose separation and combination are then carried out by a single beamsplitting element. The disclosed embodiments also provide an improvement in the ANSI contrast. In some embodiments, an achromatic quarter-wave plate is used in combination with a color filter to block the light reflected from projection optics.
