  2. Laser science - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  3. Physics of optical holography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_Optical_Holography

    Optical holography [1] is a technique which enables an optical wavefront to be recorded and later re-constructed. Holography is best known as a method of generating three-dimensional images but it also has a wide range of other applications . A hologram is made by superimposing a second wavefront (normally called the reference beam) on the ...

  4. Laser pointer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_pointer

    A laser pointer or laser pen is a (typically battery-powered) handheld device that uses a laser diode to emit a narrow low-power visible laser beam (i.e. coherent light) to highlight something of interest with a small bright colored spot. The small width of the beam and the low power of typical laser pointers make the beam itself invisible in a ...

  5. Relascope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relascope

    Relascope. The relascope, invented by Walter Bitterlich, is a multi-use instrument for forest inventory. It is primarily used to find the height of a tree, the basal area of a tree, and the diameter of a tree anywhere along the bole. This instrument is used mostly for applications involving variable radius sample plots in a forest survey.

  6. Prism cover test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_Cover_Test

    The prism cover test ( PCT) is an objective measurement and the gold standard in measuring strabismus, i.e. ocular misalignment, or a deviation of the eye. [1] It is used by ophthalmologists and orthoptists in order to measure the vertical and horizontal deviation and includes both manifest and latent components. [1] Manifest is defined by the eye deviating constantly or intermittently ...

  7. Vision therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision_therapy

    Prisms for near binocular disorders and for producing postural change – the use of "yoked" prisms to redirect a person's gaze and bring about a range of claimed benefits including postural improvements and increased wellbeing. There is a lack of evidence for the effect this approach may have.

  8. Prescription Songs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prescription_Songs

    History. Between 2013 and 2017, Prescription Songs held a joint publishing deal with Nashville -based Big Machine Records to build bridges between songwriters in the Nashville and Los Angeles music industries. The company expanded its own presence in Nashville with the establishment of a second Prescription Songs headquarters in 2016.

  9. Porro prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porro_prism

    Porro prisms are most often used in pairs, forming a double Porro prism. A second prism rotated 90° with respect to the first, is placed such that light will traverse both prisms. The net effect of the prism system is a beam parallel to but displaced from its original direction, with the image rotated 180°. A double Porro system provides four ...
