摘要： A multilayer reflector useable to reflect or transmit light over the visible wavelength range includes optically thick constituent layers. The optical thickness of the constituent layers through the thickness of the reflector defines a layer thickness profile. The layers are arranged so that the thickness profile has a tailored non-uniform distribution, such as a graded distribution or a randomized distribution. The layers desirably have an optical thickness in a range from about one to five or one to ten design wavelengths. The reflector can be a polarizer, reflecting only one normally incident polarization state, or a mirror, reflecting two normally incident orthogonal polarization states.

摘要： A polarizer is formed with an arrangement of polymer fibers substantially parallel within a polymer matrix. The polymer fibers are formed of at least first and second polymer materials. At least one of the polymer matrix and the first and second polymer materials is birefringent, and provides a birefringent interface with the adjacent material. Light is reflected and/or scattered at the birefringent interfaces with sensitivity to the polarization of the light. In some embodiments, the polymer fibers are formed as composite fibers, having a plurality of scattering polymer fibers disposed within a filler to form the composite fiber. In other embodiments, the polymer fiber is a multilayered polymer fiber. The polymer fibers may be arranged within the polymer matrix as part of a fiber weave.

摘要： An optical film is provided which comprises a disperse phase of polymeric particles disposed within a continuous birefringent matrix. The film is oriented, typically by stretching, in one or more directions. The size and shape of the disperse phase particles, the volume fraction of the disperse phase, the film thickness, and the amount of orientation are chosen to attain a desired degree of diffuse reflection and total transmission of electromagnetic radiation of a desired wavelength in the resulting film.
