21Optical phenomenon — An optical phenomenon is any observable event that results from the interaction of light and matter. See also list of optical topics and optics. A mirage is an example of an optical phenomenon. Common optical phenomena are often due to the… …
22Optical cavity — An optical cavity or optical resonator is an arrangement of mirrors that forms a standing wave cavity resonator for light waves. Optical cavities are a major component of lasers, surrounding the gain medium and providing feedback of the laser… …
23diffraction grating — Physics. a band of equidistant, parallel lines, usually more than 5000 per inch (2000 per centimeter), ruled on a glass or polished metal surface for diffracting light to produce optical spectra. Also called grating. [1865 70] * * * ▪ optics… …
24Optical transfer function — The optical transfer function (OTF) of an imaging system (camera, video system, microscope etc) is the true measure of resolution (image sharpness) that the system is capable of. The common practice of defining resolution in terms of pixel count… …
25Optical proximity correction — An illustration of optical proximity correction. The blue Γ like shape is what we d like printed on the wafer, in green is the shape after applying optical proximity correction, and the red contour is how the shape actually prints (quite close to …
26Optical Society of America — The Optical Society of America (OSA) is a scientific society dedicated to advancing the study of light optics and photonics in theory and application, by means of worldwide research, scientific publishing, conferences and exhibitions, partnership …
27Optical modulators using semiconductor nano-structures — Contents 1 Optical modulators using semiconductor nano structures 1.1 Electro optic modulator of nano structures 1.2 Acousto optic modulator of nano structures …
28Optical switch — This article is about the optical component. For the optoelectronic component, see Slotted optical switch. In telecommunication, an optical switch is a switch that enables signals in optical fibers or integrated optical circuits (IOCs) to be… …
29Optical path length — In optics, optical path length (OPL) or optical distance is the product of the geometric length of the path light follows through the system, and the index of refraction of the medium through which it propagates. A difference in optical path… …
30Optical Proximity Correction — Correction optique de proximité La Correction optique de proximité ou OPC (pour Optical proximity correction) est une technique d amélioration de la photolithographie communément utilisée pour compenser les erreurs dues à la diffraction ou aux… …
