  2. Opto-isolator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opto-isolator

    Schematic diagram of an opto-isolator showing source of light (LED) on the left, dielectric barrier in the center, and sensor (phototransistor) on the right [note 1]. An opto-isolator (also called an optocoupler, photocoupler, or optical isolator) is an electronic component that transfers electrical signals between two isolated circuits by using light. [1]

  3. Reference designator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_designator

    A reference designator unambiguously identifies the location of a component within an electrical schematic or on a printed circuit board.The reference designator usually consists of one or two letters followed by a number, e.g. C3, D1, R4, U15.

  4. Resistive opto-isolator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistive_opto-isolator

    Opto-isolator VTL2C1 with LED input and photoresistor output. Resistive opto-isolator (RO), also called photoresistive opto-isolator, vactrol (after a genericized trademark introduced by Vactec, Inc. in the 1960s), analog opto-isolator [notes 1] or lamp-coupled photocell, [1] is an optoelectronic device consisting of a source and detector of light, which are optically coupled and electrically ...

  5. Optoelectronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optoelectronics

    Electronic light sensors. Optoelectronics (or optronics) is the study and application of electronic devices and systems that find, detect and control light, usually considered a sub-field of photonics. In this context, light often includes invisible forms of radiation such as gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet and infrared, in addition to visible ...

  6. Laser scanning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_scanning

    Laser scanning is the controlled deflection of laser beams, visible or invisible. [1] Scanned laser beams are used in some 3-D printers, in rapid prototyping, in machines for material processing, in laser engraving machines, in ophthalmological laser systems for the treatment of presbyopia, in confocal microscopy, in laser printers, in laser shows, in Laser TV, and in barcode scanners.

  7. Output coupler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Output_coupler

    A dielectric output-coupler for a dye laser. Centered at 550 nm, the left photo shows its high reflectance to yellow light and its high transmittance to red and blue light. The right photo shows it reflecting 75% of a laser beam and transmitting 25%, although the beam appears brighter when moving toward the observer than when moving away.

  8. Motion picture film scanner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_picture_film_scanner

    A film scanner scans original film stock: negative or positive print or reversal/IP. Units may scan gauges from 8 mm to 70 mm (8 mm, Super 8, 9.5 mm, 16 mm, Super 16, 35 mm, Super 35, 65 mm and 70 mm) with very high resolution scanning at 2K, 4K, 8K, or 16K resolutions. (2K is approximately 2048×1080 pixels and 4K is approximately 4096×2160 ...

  9. Optical parametric amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_parametric_amplifier

    The photon of an incident laser pulse (pump) is, by a nonlinear optical crystal, divided into two lower-energy photons. The wavelengths of the signal and the idler are determined by the phase matching condition, which is changed, e.g. by temperature or, in bulk optics, by the angle between the incident pump laser ray and the optical axes of the ...
