  2. Retroreflective sheeting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroreflective_sheeting

    Retroreflective sheeting is flexible retroreflective material primarily used to increase the nighttime conspicuity of traffic signs, high-visibility clothing, and other items so they are safely and effectively visible in the light of an approaching driver's headlamps. They are also used as a material to increase the scanning range of barcodes ...

  3. Anti-reflective coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-reflective_coating

    Uncoated glasses lens (top) versus lens with anti-reflective coating. The reflection from the coated lens is tinted because the coating works better at some wavelengths than others. An antireflective , antiglare or anti-reflection ( AR ) coating is a type of optical coating applied to the surface of lenses , other optical elements, and ...

  4. Crown glass (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    Crown glass is a type of optical glass used in lenses and other optical components. It has relatively low refractive index (≈1.52) and low dispersion (with Abbe numbers between 50 and 85). Crown glass is produced from alkali-lime silicates containing approximately 10% potassium oxide and is one of the earliest low dispersion glasses.

  5. Optical glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_glass

    Optical glass refers to a quality of glass suitable for the manufacture of optical systems such as optical lenses, prisms or mirrors.Unlike window glass or crystal, whose formula is adapted to the desired aesthetic effect, optical glass contains additives designed to modify certain optical or mechanical properties of the glass: refractive index, dispersion, transmittance, thermal expansion and ...

  6. Optical coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_coating

    Comparison of uncoated glasses (top) and glasses with an anti-reflective coating (bottom). Antireflection coatings are used to reduce reflection from surfaces. Whenever a ray of light moves from one medium to another (such as when light enters a sheet of glass after travelling through air ), some portion of the light is reflected from the ...

  7. Retroreflector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroreflector

    The surface area of the reflector is proportional to the R I value, which increases as the reflective surface increases. [1] The R I value is also a function of the spatial geometry between the observer, light source, and reflector. Figures 1 and 2 show the observation angle and entrance angle between the automobile's headlights, bicycle, and ...
