1Optical pumping — of a laser rod (bottom) with an arc lamp (top). Red: hot. Blue: cold. Green: light. Non green arrows: water flow. Solid colors: metal. Light colors: fused quartz. Refs: [1], [2] …
2Optical 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 …
3Optical Emission Spectrometer — Atomspektroskopie (auch Atomspektrometrie) ist ein Sammelbegriff für spektroskopische Verfahren, die zur quantitativen und qualitativen Bestimmung von Elementen eingesetzt werden. Die Atomspektroskopie ist ein Teilbereich der Analytischen Chemie …
4Near-field scanning optical microscope — Near field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM/SNOM) is a microscopic technique for nanostructure investigation that breaks the far field resolution limit by exploiting the properties of evanescent waves. This is done by placing the detector very… …
5National Optical Astronomy Observatory — The National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO) is the United States national observatory for ground based nighttime ultraviolet optical infrared (OUVIR) astronomy. The National Science Foundation (NSF) funds NOAO to provide forefront… …
6Microstructured optical arrays — (MOAs) are instruments for focusing x rays. MOAs utilise total external reflection at grazing incidence from an array of small channels in order to bring x rays to a common focus. This method of focusing means that MOAs exhibit low absorption.… …
7Raman optical activity — (ROA) is a vibrational spectroscopic technique that is reliant on the difference in intensity of Raman scattered right and left circularly polarised light due to molecular chirality. History of Raman optical activity The field began with the… …
8Marine Optical Buoy — The Marine Optical Buoy (MOBY) measures light at and very near the sea surface in a specific location over a long period of time, serving as part of an ocean color observation system. Satellites are another component of the system, providing… …
9Noise-immune cavity-enhanced optical heterodyne molecular spectroscopy — (NICE OHMS) is an ultra sensitive laser based absorption technique that utilizes laser light to assess the concentration or the amount of a species in gas phase by absorption spectrometry (AS). Contents 1 Principles 1.1 Types of signals 1.2… …
10Noise-Immune Cavity-Enhanced Optical-Heterodyne Molecular Spectroscopy — (NICE OHMS) is an ultra sensitive laser based absorption technique that utilizes laser light to assess the concentration or the amount of a species in gas phase by absorption spectrometry (AS). Principles The NICE OHMS technique combines in a… …
