Abstract
When linearly polarized light impinging on a lens, it will reflect and refract along the lines curves resulting from the interception of a plane (plane of polarisation) with a sphere (lens surface) maintaining the orientation of refraction and reflection within the plane of polarisation. This effect is significant only looking at the lens laterally. Therefore, a lens acts as a lateral analyser when the polarisation plane of polarized light incident on the lens is rotated. Following this principle that in the spherical surface of a lens fit n circles of radius r, where n is inversely proportional to r, and each circle is a lens itself. Then if a beam of light is shined in one of these areas, the phenomenon is expressed lateral side and diametrically opposite to the incident linearly polarized light place, the lens acting as a waveguide for the light beam polarized.
