  2. Photodarkening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photodarkening

    Photodarkening is an optical effect observed in the interaction of laser radiation with amorphous media (glasses) in optical fibers. Until now, such creation of color centers was reported only in glass fibers. [1] [2] Photodarkening limits the density of excitations in fiber lasers and amplifiers. The experimental results suggest that operating ...

  3. Chromostereopsis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromostereopsis

    The perceived differences in color's optical power span about 2 diopter (Blue: −1.5, Red +0.5). [9] [self-published source] [10] The effect can appear much more pronounced when suitable images are viewed while wearing eyeglasses needed to correct myopia, with the effect almost completely disappearing when the glasses are removed.

  4. Chromatic aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_aberration

    Chromatic aberration also affects black-and-white photography. Although there are no colors in the photograph, chromatic aberration will blur the image. It can be reduced by using a narrow-band color filter, or by converting a single color channel to black and white. This will, however, require longer exposure (and change the resulting image).

  5. Purple fringing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_fringing

    In photography (particularly digital photography), purple fringing (sometimes called PF) is the term for an unfocused purple or magenta "ghost" image on a photograph.This optical aberration is generally most visible as a coloring and lightening of dark edges adjacent to bright areas of broad-spectrum illumination, such as daylight or various types of gas-discharge lamps.

  6. Color photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_photography

    The first color photograph made by the three-color method suggested by James Clerk Maxwell in 1855, taken in 1861 by Thomas Sutton. The subject is a colored ribbon, usually described as a tartan ribbon. Color photography (also spelled as colour photography in Commonwealth English) is photography that uses media capable of capturing and ...

  7. Science of photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_of_photography

    The fundamental technology of most photography, whether digital or analog, is the camera obscura effect and its ability to transform of a three dimensional scene into a two dimensional image. At its most basic, a camera obscura consists of a darkened box, with a very small hole in one side, which projects an image from the outside world onto ...

  8. Lippmann plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lippmann_plate

    The back of the film is then brought into optical contact with a reflective surface. This originally was done by mounting the plate in a specialized holder with pure mercury behind the film. When it is exposed in the camera through the glass side of the plate, the light rays which strike the transparent light-sensitive film are reflected back ...

  9. Photographic filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_filter

    Color conversion and light balancing (LB) filters must be distinguished from color correction filters (CC filters), which filter out a particular color cast that may have various causes, including reflections from colored surfaces, fluorescent lighting (which has an unbalanced spectrum), underwater photography, or the Schwarzschild effect (also ...
