Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Circularly.Polarized.Light_Circular.Polarizer_Passing.Left.Handed.Helix.View.svg

In the illustration the left handed circularly polarized light entering the polarizer is transformed into linearly polarized light which has its direction of polarization along the transmission axis of the linear polarizer and it therefore passes. In contrast right handed circularly polarized light would have been transformed into linearly polarized light that had its direction of polarization along the absorbing axis of the linear polarizer which is at right angles to the transmission axis and it would have therefore been blocked.

This image was created using the open source program Inkscape. If you open it using that program the image will still be divided into layers and you will have access to information used to create it. If you need to alter it I would suggest first going to my Wikimedia User page at Dave3457 where information is gathered and other related images are listed.
