Laser light can be either p-polarized (parallel) or s-polarized (senkrecht/perpendicular), depending on the orientation of the electric field vector with respect to the plane of incidence, when the light is incident upon a reflective surface.

S-polarized light is reflected differently compared to p-polarized light, especially at angles far from normal incidence. These differences are exploited in various applications where the polarization of light is critical, such as in polarimetry or in reducing glare in imaging systems.

P-polarized light can be preferentially transmitted or reflected by certain optical components, such as beamsplitters or polarizers. The reflection of p-polarized light at nonmetallic surfaces can be minimized at a certain angle of incidence known as Brewster's angle.

S-polarization, short for senkrecht polarization or perpendicular polarization, occurs when the electric field vector is perpendicular to the plane of incidence. This orientation tends to have higher reflection coefficients at surfaces when compared to p-polarization.

In May 2005, a small company was born with the idea that there is a need for quality products and someone who can design projects from beginning to end. The name of this innovative team: Illumination Solutions Inc. Founders Ed and Amy Smith moved back to Fort Wayne in January of 2005 to be closer to aging parents. We attended a small seminar at our local landscape supply company about irrigation and lighting. That was all it took, I was focused on lighting and lighting only. I did not like playing in water and dirt for a living so I left irrigation to the pros.

Whether a laser is p-polarized or s-polarized depends on the laser design and the components in the laser cavity. Some lasers may emit light with a random polarization state, while others, by design, may produce a specific polarization. Diode lasers, for example, often emit naturally polarized light due to the geometric shape of the gain region and cavity design.

P-polarization, short for parallel polarization, refers to light waves with the electric field polarized parallel to the plane of incidence. The plane of incidence is defined as the plane that spans the incident, reflected, and refracted rays. When the electric field component is parallel to this plane, it is p-polarized.

In practical use, one can manipulate the polarization state of laser light using polarizing optics, such as waveplates, to convert one polarization state to another or using polarizers to select a particular polarization state.

Back in 2005, LED technology was not incorporated into the outdoor landscape lighting industry yet. Most of the homes with lighting had been installed by electricians or landscapers using “big box” store products. They would just place these products in the landscape and call it a day. When we first started, our goal was to provide only high-quality products and a unique design that hadn’t been seen before. That has never changed however the technology did – today there are many different types of lights available on market. We offer only brass fixtures for a lifetime of enjoyment. We use technology that will adapt to the future and is able to be serviced in the field. From start to finish we have you covered. Your outdoor lighting is an investment that you should not take lightly. Our team understands the importance of safety, security and beauty on your property because it will benefit from our premium products combined with creative design, each tailored around YOUR needs!
