Abstract
A color filter device for controlling the color of light output by an illumination device or for controlling the color of light passing through a window includes at least a retarder and a polarization analyzer. The device may also include an input polarizer. The device may further include an electrically controllable modulator and an output retarder for selectively controlling the spectrum of light output by the device. A color filter device embodying the invention enables rapid and effective control over the spectrum and amplitude of light passing through the filter to achieve desired effects. A device embodying the invention could be an indicator light, an illumination device, a diagnostic testing device, a transmissive window, or any other type of device where rapid and effective control of a spectrum of light is desired.
