passivepolarized
Passivepolarized refers to a type of polarization where the polarization state of light is modified without actively introducing energy into the system. This is typically achieved through the interaction of light with a polarizing material. Unlike active polarization methods that might use components like electro-optic modulators which require an external power source, passive polarization relies on inherent properties of the material itself to selectively transmit or reflect light based on its polarization.
Common passive polarizing elements include polarizing filters, also known as polarizers, which are widely used in
