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.
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
The Schuster Laboratory, University of Manchester (a physics laboratory). A laboratory (UK: / l ə ˈ b ɒr ə t ər i /; US: / ˈ l æ b r ə t ɔːr i /; colloquially lab) is a facility that provides controlled conditions in which scientific or technological research, experiments, and measurement may be performed.
A bundle of optical fibers A TOSLINK fiber optic audio cable with red light shone in one end. An optical fiber, or optical fibre, is a flexible glass or plastic fiber that can transmit light [a] from one end to the other.
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.
Clinical laboratory in a hospital setting showing several automated analysers.. A medical laboratory or clinical laboratory is a laboratory where tests are conducted out on clinical specimens to obtain information about the health of a patient to aid in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
