11Circular polarization — The electric field vectors of a traveling circularly polarized electromagnetic wave. In electrodynamics, circular polarization[1] of an electromagnetic wave is a polarization in which the electric field of the passing wave does not change… …
12Ellipsometry — is a versatile and powerful optical technique for the investigation of the dielectric properties (complex refractive index or dielectric function) of thin films. It has applications in many different fields, from semiconductor physics to… …
13Optics — For the book by Sir Isaac Newton, see Opticks. Optical redirects here. For the musical artist, see Optical (artist). Optics includes study of dispersion of light. Optics is the branch of …
14Pockels effect — The Pockels effect, or Pockels electro optic effect, produces birefringence in an optical medium induced by a constant or varying electric field. It is distinguished from the Kerr effect by the fact that the birefringence is proportional to the… …

16Wave 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 …
17Extinction cross — The extinction cross is an optical phenomenon that is seen when trying to extinguish a laser beam or non planar white light using crossed polarizers. Ideally, crossed (90° rotated) polarizers block all light, since light which is polarized along… …
18Refractive index — Refraction of light at the interface between two media. In optics the refractive index or index of refraction of a substance or medium is a measure of the speed of light in that medium. It is expressed as a ratio of the speed of light in vacuum… …
19Voyager 2 — For the phone sometimes referred to as the Voyager 2, see LG enV touch. Voyager 2 Voyager spacecraft Operator …
