Abstract: The invention includes a selectively-absorptive wire grid polarizer (WGP) comprising an array of parallel, elongated rods located over a surface of a transparent substrate with gaps between adjacent rods. Each of the rods can include a reflective wire and two absorptive ribs. The reflective wire can be sandwiched between the two absorptive ribs and the substrate or the two absorptive ribs can be sandwiched between the reflective wire and the substrate. Each of the two absorptive ribs can comprise a different material. Use of multiple absorptive ribs within each rod can increase the effective useful bandwidth of light for selectively absorbing one polarization.

Abstract: Cube polarizers can be designed for substantially equal optical path lengths of a reflected beam and a transmitted beam. For example, d11 of FIG. 1 can define a distance between a plane (face plane2) of the outer face (outer face2) of a second prism 16 and the first edge (first edge1) of the first prism, and d11 can be less than 400 micrometers. As another example, an optical path length differential between a transmitted beam and a reflected beam (|OPLT−OPLR|) can be

Abstract: A system and method for determining particle size, shape, and/or quantity. The particle can alter the polarization state of two oppositely-polarized light beams, thus allowing the light beams to interfere with each other. An interference pattern from interference of the two light beams can be captured by a CCD. The interference pattern can be analyzed to determine size, shape, and/or quantity.

Abstract: Wire grid polarizers, and methods of making wire grid polarizers, including an array of parallel, elongated nano-structures disposed over a surface of a substrate. Each of the nano-structures can include a first rib disposed over a surface of a substrate and a pair of parallel, elongated wires, each laterally oriented with respect to one another, and disposed over the first rib. The wire grid polarizers can be durable with high transmission of one polarization of light, high contrast, and/or small pitch. The wire grid polarizers can also have high absorption or high reflection of an opposite polarization of light.
