Polaroid (polarizer)
A trademark of the Polaroid Corporation, polaroid has been the common name for a type of synthetic plastic sheet which is used as a polarizer or polarizing filter.
Patent
The original material, patented in 1929 and further developed in 1932 by Edwin H. Land, consists of many microscopic crystals of iodoquinine sulfate (herapathite) embedded in a transparent nitrocellulose polymer film. The needle-like crystals are aligned during manufacture of the film by stretching or by applying electric or magnetic fields. With the crystals aligned, the sheet is dichroic: it tends to absorb light which is polarized parallel to the direction of the crystal alignment, but transmits light which is polarized perpendicular to it. The resultant electric field of an electromagnetic wave (such as light) determines its polarization. If the wave interacts with a line of crystals as in a sheet of polaroid, any varying electric field in the direction parallel to the line of the crystals will cause a current to flow along this line. The electrons moving in this current will collide with other particles and re-emit the light backwards and forwards. This will cancel the incident wave causing little or no transmission through the sheet. The component of the electric field perpendicular to the line of crystals however can cause only small movements in the electrons as they can't move very much from side to side. This means there will be little change in the perpendicular component of the field leading to transmission of the part of the light wave polarized perpendicular to the crystals only, hence allowing the material to be used as a light polarizer.
Polaroid (album)
Polaroid' is a 1999 b-side album released by Phantom Planet. It was released between their debut album Is Missing, released in 1998, and The Guest, which was released in 2002.

Polaroid
by: Blasted MechanismWould you seat down by my side if I asked you?
Would you still look at me if I show you my gutter?
And if you say yes
We would take a bath together
And clean our miseries, clean our miseries
And clean our miseries, clean our miseries
Would you seat down by my side if I asked you?
Would you still look at me if I show you my gutter?
And if you say yes
We would take a bath together
And clean our miseries, clean our miseries
We should have a polaroid together
And piss freely for evermore
Nonsense for faith and shoes for lunch
And you’re so beautiful just forever
No more worries for the next five seconds
Seconds for a lifetime of rust
Killing all illusions might show you the heart of a dream
And dreams keep sleeping into your face
Look away while I kill my pain
Look away while I kill my pain
Come to me and over me as if you was we
And you wouldn't be without me
Like I'm not you without me
Like I'm not you without me
Come to me and over me as if you was we
And you wouldn't be without me
Like I'm not you without me
Like I'm not you without me
Would you seat down by my side if I asked you?
Would you still look at me if I show you my gutter?
And if you say yes
We would take a bath together
And clean our miseries, clean our miseries
Come to me and over me as if you was we
And you wouldn't be without me
Like I'm not you without me
Like I'm not you without me
Come to me and over me as if you was we
And you wouldn't be without me
Like I'm not you without me
Like I'm not you without me
Come to me and over me as if you was we
And you wouldn't be without me
Like I'm not you without me
Like I'm not you without me
Come to me and over me as if you was we
And you wouldn't be without me
Like I'm not you without me
