ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a polarizing device and a method for producing and utilizing the device. The device produces a modification in radiation flux and provides a bias toward photons approaching a target's face at more or less right angles. Accordingly, the radiation flux polarizing device reduces the number of photons that are not traveling at near right angle to the face of a "target" being irradiated, without significantly reducing photons approaching, or reaching the minimum base point in the target. In a sense, the invention converts a normal isotropic radiation source to one that is anisotropic.
