  3. Optik (journal) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optik_(journal)

    Optik: International Journal for Light and Electron Optics, or simply Optik (German for Optics) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering the optics of light and electrons. According to the Journal Citation Reports , the journal has a 2021 impact factor of 3.1.

  4. Polarization mode dispersion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_mode_dispersion

    Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) is a form of modal dispersion where two different polarizations of light in a waveguide, which normally travel at the same speed, travel at different speeds due to random imperfections and asymmetries, causing random spreading of optical pulses.

  5. Cladding (fiber optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cladding_(fiber_optics)

    Cladding in optical fibers is one or more layers of materials of lower refractive index in intimate contact with a core material of higher refractive index.. The cladding causes light to be confined to the core of the fiber by total internal reflection at the boundary between the core and cladding. [1]

  6. Electro-optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-optics

    Electro–optics is a branch of electrical engineering, electronic engineering, materials science, and material physics involving components, electronic devices such as lasers, laser diodes, LEDs, waveguides, etc. which operate by the propagation and interaction of light with various tailored materials.

  7. Specific rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_rotation

    The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics defines specific rotation as: For an optically active substance, defined by [α] θ λ = α/γl, where α is the angle through which plane polarized light is rotated by a solution of mass concentration γ and path length l.

  8. Optic neuritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_neuritis

    Major symptoms are sudden loss of vision (partial or complete), sudden blurred or "foggy" vision, and; pain on movement of the affected eye. [4] [5] [2]Many patients with optic neuritis may lose some of their color vision in the affected eye (especially red), with colors appearing subtly washed out compared to the other eye.

  9. Dispersion-shifted fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion-shifted_fiber

    Dispersion-shifted fiber (DSF) is a type of optical fiber made to optimize both low dispersion and low attenuation.. Dispersion Shifted Fiber is a type of single-mode optical fiber with a core-clad index profile tailored to shift the zero-dispersion wavelength from the natural 1300 nm in silica-glass fibers to the minimum-loss window at 1550 nm.
