  2. Prism (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(optics)

    In comparison with a usual glass substrate, the glass cube provides protection of the thin-film layer from both sides and better mechanical stability. The cube can also eliminate etalon effects, back-side reflection and slight beam deflection. dichroic color filters form a dichroic prism

  3. Dispersive prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersive_prism

    The refractive index of many materials (such as glass) varies with the wavelength or color of the light used, a phenomenon known as dispersion. This causes light of different colors to be refracted differently and to leave the prism at different angles, creating an effect similar to a rainbow .

  4. Dispersion (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(optics)

    Material dispersion can be a desirable or undesirable effect in optical applications. The dispersion of light by glass prisms is used to construct spectrometers and spectroradiometers. However, in lenses, dispersion causes chromatic aberration, an undesired effect that may degrade images in microscopes, telescopes, and photographic objectives.

  5. Abbe number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbe_number

    Influences of selected glass component additions on the Abbe number of a specific base glass. [ 2 ] An Abbe diagram , also called 'the glass veil', is produced by plotting the Abbe number V d {\displaystyle V_{\mathsf {d}}} of a material versus its refractive index n d . {\displaystyle n_{\mathsf {d}}.}

  7. Compound prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_prism

    The simplest compound prism is a doublet, consisting of two elements in contact, as shown in the figure at right. A ray of light passing through the prism is refracted at the first air-glass interface, again at the interface between the two glasses, and a final time at the exiting glass-air interface.

  8. Cauchy's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy's_equation

    The most general form of Cauchy's equation is = + + +,where n is the refractive index, λ is the wavelength, A, B, C, etc., are coefficients that can be determined for a material by fitting the equation to measured refractive indices at known wavelengths.
