  3. Glan–Taylor prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glan–Taylor_prism

    A Glan–Taylor prism reflects s -polarized light at an internal air-gap, transmitting only the p -polarized component. The optical axes are vertical in the plane of the diagram. A Glan–Taylor prism is a type of prism which is used as a polarizer or polarizing beam splitter. [1] It is one of the most common types of modern polarizing prism.

  4. Prism compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_compressor

    A prism compressor is an optical device used to shorten the duration of a positively chirped ultrashort laser pulse by giving different wavelength components a different time delay. It typically consists of two prisms and a mirror. Figure 1 shows the construction of such a compressor. Although the dispersion of the prism material causes ...

    The Canon FD 55mm f/1.2 AL (Japan) of 1971 was the first rectilinear aspheric SLR lens; for FD mount Canon SLRs, and the Asahi SMC Takumar 15mm f/3.5 (Japan/West Germany) of 1975 was the first rectilinear aspheric wide angle SLR lens; for M42 screw mount Asahi Pentax SLRs (co-designed with Carl Zeiss [Oberkochen]). The use of modern precision ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_science

    Laser modules (bottom to top: 405, 445, 520, 532, 635, and 660 nm) Laser science or laser physics is a branch of optics that describes the theory and practice of lasers. [citation needed] Laser science is principally concerned with quantum electronics, laser construction, optical cavity design, the physics of producing a population inversion in ...

  7. Wedge prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedge_prism

    Wedge prism. The wedge prism is a prism with a shallow angle between its input and output surfaces. This angle is usually 3 degrees or less. Refraction at the surfaces causes the prism to deflect light by a fixed angle. When viewing a scene through such a prism, objects will appear to be offset by an amount that varies with their distance from ...

  8. Laser printing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_printing

    Laser printing is an electrostatic digital printing process. It produces high-quality text and graphics (and moderate-quality photographs) by repeatedly passing a laser beam back and forth over a negatively charged cylinder called a "drum" to define a differentially charged image. [1] The drum then selectively collects electrically charged ...
