'In many ways, the manufacturing strategy is helping us redefine and reinvent how we do business in General Motors,' said Scott Whybrew, GM's executive director of global manufacturing engineering.
When the phase shift is exactly Â±90Â°, then circular polarization is produced (fourth and fifth figures). Thus is circular polarization created in practice, starting with linearly polarized light and employing a quarter-wave plate to introduce such a phase shift.
Polarization by Use of a Polaroid Filter. The most common method of polarization involves the use of a Polaroid filter. Polaroid filters are made of a special material that is capable of blocking one of the two planes of vibration of an electromagnetic wave.
