Abstract
This specification discloses a polarization converting apparatus having means emitting non-polarized light, and polarizing means having a light incidence surface and a light emergence surface, the polarizing means receiving the non-polarized light by the light incidence surface and causing polarized light to emerge from the light emergence surface, the size and shape of the light incidence surface being similar to the size and cross-sectional shape of the non-polarized light. The specification also discloses an optical instrument having such apparatus.
