在偏振光技术的发展史中,1828年Nicol发明尼科耳棱镜和1932—1936年Land发明J型、H型人造偏振片,都曾经起过极其重要的作用。但是,本世纪三十年代出现人造偏振片后,才使偏振光冲出实验室,在工农业、医学、国防及生活等各个部门正式担当相当重要的角色。1960年Maiman制成世界上第一台激光器,偏振光技术又立即被应用于激光和近代光学。例如激光武器、光通讯、可控热核反应、光计算机和光学信息处理等许多新兴科学技术的前沿领域。可是,就偏振器件来讲,偏振棱镜和Land型人造偏振片至今仍然是最主要和最常用的起偏振器。而近代光学的迅猛发展早已迫不及待地在渴望着新颖起偏振器件的诞生,以满足日新月异的各种需要。
In the history of the development of polarized light technology, Nicol invented Nicole Prisms in 1828 and J-type and H-type artificial polarizers invented by Land in 1932-1936, all played an extremely important role. However, after the artificial polarizer was introduced in the 1930s, polarized light burst out of the laboratory and formally played a very important role in various fields such as agriculture, medicine, defense and life. Maiman made in 1960 the world’s first laser, polarized light technology was immediately applied to the laser and modern optics. Such as the frontiers of many emerging science and technology, such as laser weapons, optical communications, controlled thermonuclear reactions, optical computers and optical information processing. However, in terms of polarizers, polarizing prisms and Land-type polarizers are by far the most important and most commonly used polarizers. The rapid development of modern optics has long been eager to the birth of novel polarizer to meet the changing needs.
