  3. Optical computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_computing

    Optical computing or photonic computing uses light waves produced by lasers or incoherent sources for data processing, data storage or data communication for computing.For decades, photons have shown promise to enable a higher bandwidth than the electrons used in conventional computers (see optical fibers).

  4. 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]

  5. Beam splitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_splitter

    Phase shift through a beam splitter with a dielectric coating. Beam splitters are sometimes used to recombine beams of light, as in a Mach–Zehnder interferometer.In this case there are two incoming beams, and potentially two outgoing beams.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. NRG (file format) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NRG_(file_format)

    An NRG file is a proprietary optical disc image file format originally created by Nero AG for the Nero Burning ROM utility. It is used to store disc images.Other than Nero Burning ROM, however, a variety of software titles can use these image files.
