3Active optics — is a relatively new technology for reflecting telescopes developed in the 1980s, which has more recently enabled the construction of a generation of telescopes with 8 metre primary mirrors. Active optics works by actively adjusting the telescope… …
4Brillouin scattering — Brillouin scattering, named after Léon Brillouin, occurs when light in a medium (such as air, water or a crystal) interacts with time dependent optical density variations and changes its energy (frequency) and path. The density variations may be… …

6Fresnel equations — The Fresnel equations, deduced by Augustin Jean Fresnel (pronEng|freɪˈnɛl), describe the behaviour of light when moving between media of differing refractive indices. The reflection of light that the equations predict is known as Fresnel… …
7Distributed Bragg reflector — A distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) is a reflector used in waveguides, such as optical fibers. It is a structure formed from multiple layers of alternating materials with varying refractive index, or by periodic variation of some characteristic… …
8Transfer-matrix method (optics) — The transfer matrix method is a method used in optics and acoustics to analyze the propagation of electromagnetic or acoustic waves through a stratified (layered) medium. [Born, M.; Wolf, E., Principles of optics: electromagnetic theory of… …
