Optical lens design — refers to the calculation of lens construction parameters (variables) that will meet a set of performance requirements and constraints, including cost and schedule limitations. Construction parameters include surface profile types (spherical,… … Wikipedia
Optical power meter — in use An optical power meter (OPM) is a device used to measure the power in an optical signal. The term usually refers to a device for testing average power in fiber optic systems. Other general purpose light power measuring devices are usually… … Wikipedia
Optical mapping — Optical mapping[1] is a technique for constructing ordered, genome wide, high resolution restriction maps from single, stained molecules of DNA, called optical maps . By mapping the location of restriction enzyme sites along the unknown DNA of an … Wikipedia
Optical telescope — Eight Inch refracting telescope (Chabot Space and Science Center) An optical telescope is a telescope which is used to gather and focus light mainly from the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum for directly viewing a magnified image for… … Wikipedia
Optical cross-connect — An optical cross connect (OXC) is a device used by telecommunications carriers to switch high speed optical signals in a fiber optic network, such as an optical mesh network. There are several ways to realize an OXC: Opaque OXCs (electronic… … Wikipedia
Optical tweezers — (originally called single beam gradient force trap ) are scientific instruments that use a highly focused laser beam to provide an attractive or repulsive force (typically on the order of piconewtons), depending on the refractive index mismatch… … Wikipedia
Optical engineering — is the field of study that focuses on applications of optics. Optical engineers design components of optical instruments such as lenses, microscopes, telescopes, and other equipment that utilizes the properties of light. Other devices include… … Wikipedia
