Abstract

This part of the review describes structures and media, such as lyotropic and thermotropic liquid crystals, photoanisotropic materials, materials polarization-anisotropic light scattering or anisotropic fluorescence, and other media. Polarizers based on lyotropic liquid crystals, media with polarization-anisotropic optical properties, metallic grid structures, and media based on anisotropic luminescence are of greatest practical interest.
