Abstract
Dichroic absorption can be produced by orienting M centers in a NaF crystal. An optical waveguide adjustable polarizer is realized by using the NaF crystal as the top layer of a thin‐film glass waveguide. The measured polarization ratios as a function of the guide length are compared with the theoretical calculations.Keywords
