A polarizing light source for providing polarized illumination over a two- dimensional surface has a slab-like light guide with an entrance face at one end thereof for admitting unpolarized light from a linear source, a planar front face for emitting polarized light, a planar back face, and an end face. A polarizing device is located on said back face for reflecting light of a first polarization and transmitting light of a second polarization at non-normal angles of incidence. The reflected light is directed in the light guide to the end face. A reflective arrangement under the polarizing device returns the transmitted light to the light guide in a direction substantially normal to the polarizing device such that it passes unaffected through the polarizing device for exit through the front face. A polarization converter on the end face changes the polarization of the reflected light and directs it into the reflective arrangement through the polarizing device as light of the second polarization for return to the light guide through the polarizing device in a direction substantially normal to the polarizing device such that it passes unaffected through the polarizing device from the reflective arrangement for exit through said front face.
