Modeling a Double Glan-Taylor Polarizer Using Birefringence in LightTools
This video shows how to use polarization and birefringence to model a double Glan-Taylor polarizer. Glan-Taylor polarizers use 2 properly aligned birefringent calcite crystals to cause the ordinary light to TIR at air gaps and extraordinary light to pass through. Double Glan-Taylor polarizers use a 3rd crystal to achieve linear polarization with extinction ratios over 100,000:1.
