Abstract:
A system for reducing glare, comprising:a light source associated with a first polarizer transmitter disposed in proximity to the light source, the first polarizer transmitter filtering light from the source; and a second polarizer analyzer associated with a viewing device and positioned at a location remote from the first polarizer transmitter to view the light received from the first polarizer transmitter; the first polarizer and the second polarizer are adapted to at least one of a first configuration and a second configuration to mitigate glare; in accordance with the first configuration, the first polarizer is a linear polarizer and the second polarizer is at least one of a circular polarizer and an elliptical polarizer; in accordance with the second configuration, the first polarizer is at least one of a circular polarizer and an elliptical polarizer, and the second polarizer is a linear polarizer.
