polariser
Glare-reducing optical element
A polariser is a filter or device that restricts light waves to a single plane of vibration.
Polarising sunglasses reduce glare by blocking horizontally oriented light.
In photography, a polarising filter deepens blue skies and reduces reflections: I attached a polariser to cut the glare off the water.
The spelling polarizer is more common in American English.
