Polarizer Surface V1.0

With Polarizer Surface, you can model a perfect polarizer.

As the software is propagating the polarization with their rays, it may be useful to know about the polarization of a beam or to create a beam with a linear polarization.

The coordinates of the easy axis of the polarizer in the global axis system are stored in a .polarizer file. This means that if you rotate the surface on which you apply the polarizer, you have to rotate this vector the same way. It is required that you keep this vector in the plane of the surface.
