  2. Holographic optical element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_optical_element

    Holographic optical element (HOE) is an optical component (mirror, lens, directional diffuser, etc.) that produces holographic images using principles of diffraction. HOE is most commonly used in transparent displays, 3D imaging, and certain scanning technologies.

  3. Edmund Scientific Corporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Scientific_Corporation

    Edmund Scientifics marketed to consumers and specialized in science-themed toys, vaguely high-tech household gadgets, and "science gifts." Edmund Optics did not have a public showroom like Edmund Scientifics, although the two organizations shared the same building. The large back room of Edmund Scientifics still sold military surplus from World ...

  4. Diffuser (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    In optics, a diffuser (also called a light diffuser or optical diffuser) is any material that diffuses or scatters light in some manner to transmit soft light.Diffused light can be easily obtained by reflecting light from a white surface, while more compact diffusers may use translucent material, including ground glass, teflon, opal glass, and greyed glass.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_Optical_Holography

    A holographic image can also be obtained using a different laser beam configuration to the original recording object beam, but the reconstructed image will not match the original exactly. [2]: Section 2.3 When a laser is used to reconstruct the hologram, the image is speckled just as the original image will have been.

  6. Astroscan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroscan

    Edmund designer Norman Sperling and optical engineer Mike Simmons came up with the basic design and Peter Bressler Design Associates did the detailed work on this simple introductory telescope. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Rather than using a more traditional equatorial or altazimuth mount the Astroscan features a spherical housing around the primary reflector ...

  7. Optical head-mounted display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_head-mounted_display

    These techniques include diffraction optics, holographic optics, polarized optics, and reflective optics: Diffractive waveguide – slanted diffraction grating elements (nanometric 10E-9). Nokia technique now licensed to Vuzix. Holographic waveguide – 3 holographic optical elements (HOE) sandwiched together (RGB).

  8. Etendue - Wikipedia

    It corresponds to the beam parameter product (BPP) in Gaussian beam optics. Other names for etendue include acceptance, throughput, light grasp, light-gathering power, optical extent, [1] and the AΩ product. Throughput and AΩ product are especially used in radiometry and radiative transfer where it is related to the view factor (or shape factor).

  9. Holographic grating - Wikipedia

    Nevertheless, the lower limit over the grating spacing is one order of magnitude smaller than the latter. Their availability, low cost, and versatility opened the path for their use in a various range of applications such as data storage, [3] holographic display [4] [5] and in general, as holographic optical components.
