1Optical disc — Optical media redirects here. For transmission media for light, see Medium (optics). The optical lens of a compact disc drive. In computing and optical disc recording technologies, an optical disc is a flat, usually circular disc which encodes… …
2Optical heterodyne detection — is an important special case of heterodyne detection. In heterodyne detection, a signal of interest at some frequency is non linearly mixed with a reference local oscillator (LO) that is set at a close by frequency. The desired outcome is the… …
3Optical fiber — A bundle of optical fibers A TOSLINK fiber optic audio c …
4Optical resolution — This article is about optical resolution in optics. For the method of separating enantiomers in chemistry, see Chiral resolution. Optical resolution describes the ability of an imaging system to resolve detail in the object that is being imaged.… …
5Optical hybrid — A 90° optical hybrid is a six port device that is used for coherent signal demodulation for either homodyne or heterodyne detection. It would mix the incoming signal with the four quadratural states associated with the reference signal in the… …
6Optical aberration — v · d · e Optical aberration …
7Optical communications repeater — An optical communications repeater is used in a fiber optic communications system to regenerate an optical signal by converting it to an electrical signal, processing that electrical signal and then retransmitting an optical signal. Such… …
8Optical overheating protection — With all solar thermal collector systems there is a potential risk that the solar collector may reach an equilibrium or stagnation temperature higher than the maximum safe operating temperature. Various measures are taken for optical overheating… …
9Metal-mesh optical filters — are optical filters made from stacks of metal meshes and dielectric. They are used as part of an optical path to filter the incoming light to allow frequencies of interest to pass while reflecting other frequencies of light. Metal mesh filters… …
10Free space optical communication — In telecommunications, Free Space Optics (FSO) is an optical communication technology that uses light propagating in free space to transmit data between two points. The technology is useful where the physical connection by the means of fibre… …
