reflective circular polarizer
(OP)
Has anyone come across a sheet polarizer that transmits one direction of circularly polarized light while reflecting the other? 3M makes one (DBEF) for linearly polarized light and I've heard that Merck makes one for circularly polarized light but I haven't been able to find any.

They make a broadband, reflective circular polarizer using cholesteric liquid crystal polymers. I think they can use both glass and plastic substrates.
Good luck,
Steve

I know that Reveo was working on making large-format plastic sheets of the circular polarizing film, but I lost track of their progress.
good luck,

Ideally, we'd find the material in question that performs the desired operation in one step. I'm looking for the stuff after seeing the material referenced in a patent. The guy said Merck made it, I've tried evry possible way to get in touch with someone knowledgable at Merck with no luck...
thanks again.
