hey /p/, a while ago I had my D50 modified for infrared (pic related), and as of lately I've been thinking of getting a polarizer for it. I've done some googling, but most of what I find has lots of techno-babble that three years of photography classes doesn't help. Am I right in assuming that a regular polarizer wouldn't work with infrared light? Can anyone give me some expert advice before I end up wasting my money?

tl;dr: I need help getting a polarizer for an infrared camera; hopefully one that doesn't cost more than my D50

At this point, it's not photography, it's physics.

Infrared light is still light, and still travels in waves. (particle waves, if you're a faggot) Thus, your polarizing filter should still work if it can accommodate for the larger wavelength of the infrared light.

ITS BOTH IDORT!

anyway if the waves/particles (oh fuck it) PHOTONS are oscilating at a larger freq than visible (which they are) then a normal polarizer will be MORE effective than usual.

In other words you have no idea and are just guessing. Right. I'll wait until someone who knows what they are talking about has an opinion.
