75Ceramic materials — Ceramic Si3N4 bearing parts Ceramic materials are inorganic, non metallic materials and things made from them. They may be crystalline or partly crystalline. They are formed by the action of heat and subsequent cooling.[1] Clay was one of the… …
76Mode-locking — is a technique in optics by which a laser can be made to produce pulses of light of extremely short duration, on the order of picoseconds (10−12 s) or femtoseconds (10−15 s). The basis of the technique is to induce a fixed phase… …
77Optofluidics — is research field using microfluidics and optics. While the idea of fluid optical devices can be traced back at least as far as the 18th century, and devices such as liquid mirror telescopes and dye lasers are relatively mature technologies,… …

79Holography — (from the Greek, ὅλος hólos whole + γραφή grafē writing, drawing) is a technique that allows the light scattered from an object to be recorded and later reconstructed so that it appears as if the object is in the same position relative to the… …
80Plasmon — In physics, a plasmon is a quantum of a plasma oscillation. The plasmon is the quasiparticle resulting from the quantization of plasma oscillations just as photons and phonons are quantizations of light and sound waves, respectively. Thus,… …
