polarisers
Glare-reducing optical filters
Polarisers are optical filters that block light waves vibrating in certain directions while allowing others to pass through.
They are essential components in LCD screens, sunglasses, camera lenses, and scientific instruments.
Photographers use polarisers to reduce glare and enhance contrast in skies and water.
The spelling with -s- is British; American English uses polarizers.
The polarisers in my sunglasses cut the reflection off the water.
