1. A polarizer, comprising:

  • a polarization-sensitive scattering element (PSSE), wherein said PSSE is a microstructural composite of material domains having differing birefringence and having a first scattering distribution for light rays of a first polarization and a second scattering distribution for light rays of a second polarization, wherein the first scattering distribution is such that the majority of the light rays of the first polarization are randomly backscattered.
