Process to Fabricate Light Sources that Emit Polarized Light
A new technology for creating polarized illumination sources that are small, have controllable spectral outputs, and that can be arranged into a microarray of polarization sources. This technology aligns molecules of photoactive dye in a liquid crystal polymer host to produce light with a degree of polarization of about 0.5. The molecules can be aligned...

Process to Fabricate Micro-Polarizers and Waveplates on Sensor Array
Researchers at the University of Arizona have developed a fabrication process to create patterned polarizers for various visible wavelengths using dichroic dye in a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) host directly on an array of optical sensors. This invention uses multiple layers of an LPP/LCP system to create more complex polarization elements such as...
