Color management system

Abstract

A color management system includes a light combiner configured for producing a single light output, a color selector positioned to receive the combined light output and configured for selectively modifying the polarization of the combined light output according to the wavelength of the combined light output, an analyzer positioned to receive the emergent light of the color selector and configured for producing an output light having an improved contrast relative to the emergent light of the color selector. An improved color management system is provided that improves image contrast and facilitates color management suitable for use in adverse thermal environments without requiring costly, high index, low birefringence glass via coupling the color selector and the analyzer to the light combiner.
