Control of vertically polarized glare
نویسنده
چکیده
Reflected glare often inte1feres with vision. Since such glare is usually polarized it can be controlled with polarizers. The use of polarized filters to eliminate vertically polarized glare from blackboards and glossy printed material is presented. Practical means for the construction of such filters are discussed. KEY WORDS-reflected glare, polarized lenses, classroom blackboard, low vision, visual environment.

Ophthalmic applications of circular polarizers.
Circular polarizing filters have recently been introduced in several ophthalmic applications. These applications include clinical instruments for ophthalmoscopy, slit-lamp specular microscopy, and fundus photography, as well as consumer products such as 3-D movie projection and viewing systems and glare-control screens for computer visual display terminals. The nature of circularly polarized li...
متن کاملDynamic Envelope and Control Shading Pattern to Visual Comfort of Office Building in Tehran
This work reviews the effect of parametric programming on visual performance, daylighting and shading in office buildings in Tehran-Iran and studies their influences that help not only to reduce the glare but also to promote useful daylight illuminance through promoting visual comfort. It starts by establishing a review of the effective parameters on visual comfort indices, glare indices, and d...
متن کاملLighting and discomfort in the classroom
Aspects of classroom lighting and décor that can promote discomfort and impair task performance through glare, and imperceptible 100 Hz flicker from fluorescent lighting, were examined in a sample of UK schools. In 90 classrooms, across eleven secondary schools and six local education authorities variables measured included flicker, illuminance at desks, and luminance of whiteboards. Results sh...
متن کاملPolarization of Light
Clever uses for polarized light are not restricted to just the field of photonics. Devices for manipulating polarized light can be found in a wide range of settings, from advanced research laboratories to the common household [1,2]. Perhaps one of the most familiar household polarizers is a pair of sunglasses, a necessity for many car drivers on a sunny day. Sunglasses filter the light specular...
متن کاملNon-Debye enhancements in the Mie scattering of light from a single water droplet.
The glare spots usually seen on a single water droplet which has been illuminated by a plane wave are produced by geometrical rays which correspond to the different terms of the Debye series expansion of the Mie scattered field. Recently other glare spot enhancements have been predicted which correspond to scattering resonances coupling to the orbiting rays associated with high-order geometrica...
