This category covers topics such as wave and particle properties of light, geometrical optics, polarization, diffraction, and optical instruments like microscopes, telescopes, and cameras.
Both HR and OC mirrors are essential components in the operation of a laser. The HR mirror reflects the laser beam back into the cavity, where it is amplified by the laser medium and passed through the OC mirror. The OC mirror then allows a portion of the amplified laser beam to exit the cavity, producing the desired laser output.
A diffraction grating is a type of optical device that is used to separate light into its different wavelengths.
Coherence length is a term used in optics to describe the length over which two or more waves remain correlated, or “in phase,” with one another.
A dichroic filter is a type of optical filter that is designed to selectively transmit or reflect specific wavelengths of light.
