121Optical isolator — This article is about the optical component. For the optoelectronic component, see Opto isolator. An optical isolator, or optical diode, is an optical component which allows the transmission of light in only one direction. It is typically used to …
122Polarization-maintaining optical fiber — In fiber optics, polarization maintaining optical fiber (PMF or PM fiber) is optical fiber in which the polarization of linearly polarized light waves launched into the fiber is maintained during propagation, with little or no cross coupling of… …
123Wave plate — A half wave plate. Linearly polarized light entering a wave plate can be resolved into two waves, parallel (shown as green) and perpendicular (blue) to the optical axis of the wave plate. In the plate, the parallel wave propagates slightly slower …
124Transverse wave — Transverse plane wave A light wave is an example of a transverse wave …
125Coherence (physics) — In physics, coherence is a property of waves that enables stationary (i.e. temporally and spatially constant) interference. More generally, coherence describes all properties of the correlation between physical quantities of a wave. When… …
126Abelian variety — In mathematics, particularly in algebraic geometry, complex analysis and number theory, an Abelian variety is a projective algebraic variety that is at the same time an algebraic group, i.e., has a group law that can be defined by regular… …
127Asymmetry — is the absence of, or a violation of, a symmetry. In organismsDue to how cells divide in organisms, asymmetry in organisms is fairly usual in at least one dimension, with biological symmetry also being common in at least one dimension. Louis… …
128Plate reader — Microplate Readers (also known as Plate readers) are laboratory instruments designed to detect biological, chemical or physical events of samples in microtiter plates. They are widely used in research, drug discovery, bioassay validation, quality …
