plane-polarized light. From Wordnet, Princeton University.
In section 33.8, Penrose brings in "Massless fields of mixed helicity-such as a plane-polarized photon, which is the sum of a right-handed and left-handed part". From Wordnik.com. [Are Changes Brewing and How Does the Mind Fit In?] Reference
In 1873, after van't Hoff had moved to Paris to work with Charles Adolphe Wurtz, he realized that the phenomenon of optical activity possessed by some organic molecules — their ability to rotate plane-polarized light — could be explained by the two possible arrangements of four different substituents in the space around a carbon atom. From Wordnik.com. [Van't Hoff, Jacobus Henricus] Reference
The rear lens on the EOTech is plane-polarized, necessary for the holographic aspect to work. From Wordnik.com. [Defense Review] Reference
The lesson here is that plane-polarized optics do not work well in combination with polarizing sunglasses. From Wordnik.com. [Defense Review] Reference
It is then the interaction of plane-polarized light with a birefringent specimen that results in image contrast. From Wordnik.com. Reference
A similar rotation is now familiar in the well-known tests of sugars -- lævulose and dextrose -- which rotate plane-polarized light to left and right, respectively. From Wordnik.com. [The New Heavens] Reference
Enantiomers are spatial isomers, also called stereoisomers, identified and distinguished by their optical characteristics when a purified solution of the separated isomers is exposed to plane-polarized light. From Wordnik.com. [Patent Baristas] Reference
The resulting plane-polarized light can be utilized to illuminate birefringent specimens in a microscope or any other device that requires the input of light having electric field vibrations restricted to a single plane. From Wordnik.com. Reference
'Now, two things are clear: first, that if the light be plane-polarized -- that is, if all the vibrations throughout the entire ray are rectilinear and in one plane -- they must in all their bearings have reference to a particular direction in space, so that they will be differently affected by different positions of the analyzer.
