Light from two slide projectors polarized at right angles and showing slightly different views of an object can be used to produce a stereo effect when viewed through properly polarized glasses. This is intuitively easy to understand. I understand that circularly polarized light can also be used. In this case the light is polarized in opposite directions. Producing linearly polarized light is straightforward. Questions: - How is circularly polarized light generated? - How is this used to produce the stereo effect? Thanks. -- -Tom Thomas C.
