Abstract
A generalized optical model for wire grid polarizers is derived based on the form birefringence of composite media of either parallel slabs or cylinders. It is shown that a wire grid polarizer can be represented by a thin sheet of uniaxially anisotropic material with complex refractive indices. This model also applies to sheet polarizers.
