I Polarizing filter synthesis and dynamics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the need for detailed resources on the synthesis and mechanisms of polarizers, particularly in the context of polarized light studies. Participants suggest using specific search terms like "Polaroid filter fabrication" to find relevant information. While some articles on advanced synthesis exist, there is a desire for a more structured educational resource covering the basics and types of polarizers. The Wikipedia page on Polaroid filters is noted as too brief for comprehensive understanding. Overall, there is a call for more in-depth materials on polarizer synthesis methods.

I have found a fair amount of sources for studying polarized light but I haven't found sources discussing synthesis of polarizers in detail along with mechanistic discussion.

Have you tried the Google search term Polaroid filter fabrication? :wink:

i found several articles and papers on advanced syntheses but i was thinking of a more systematic course (a boo like course (intro-mechanism-types-synthesis))

I'm sorry, I'm not able to parse what you said. Can you post links that you've found that are still confusing you? Did you read the (simple) Polaroid filter Wikipedia article?
 
Thread 'Simple math model for a Particle Image Velocimetry system'
Hello togehter, I am new to this forum and hope this post followed all the guidelines here (I tried to summarized my issue as clean as possible, two pictures are attached). I would appreciate every help: I am doing research on a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system. For this I want to set a simple math model for the system. I hope you can help me out. Regarding this I have 2 main Questions. 1. I am trying to find a math model which is describing what is happening in a simple Particle...
I would like to use a pentaprism with some amount of magnification. The pentaprism will be used to reflect a real image at 90 degrees angle but I also want the reflected image to appear larger. The distance between the prism and the real image is about 70cm. The pentaprism has two reflecting sides (surfaces) with mirrored coating and two refracting sides. I understand that one of the four sides needs to be curved (spherical curvature) to achieve the magnification effect. But which of the...
