  3. 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]

  4. Optically stimulated luminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optically_stimulated...

    In physics, optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) is a method for measuring doses from ionizing radiation.It is used in at least two applications: Luminescence dating of ancient materials: mainly geological sediments and sometimes fired pottery, bricks etc., although in the latter case thermoluminescence dating is used more often

  5. 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.

  6. Electro-optic modulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-optic_modulator

    An electro-optic phase modulator for free-space beams An optical intensity modulator for optical telecommunications. An electro-optic modulator (EOM) is an optical device in which a signal-controlled element exhibiting an electro-optic effect is used to modulate a beam of light.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.
