Polarization.

Polarization is the process that restricts the oscillation direction of light waves so they vibrate in a single plane (linear polarization). It can be produced with polarizing filters (Polaroid), by reflection at Brewster's angle, by scattering (Rayleigh scattering), or by birefringent materials; applications include sunglasses, LCDs, and optical instruments.
