  2. Optical coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_coating

    Optical coating. An optical coating is one or more thin layers of material deposited on an optical component such as a lens, prism or mirror, which alters the way in which the optic reflects and transmits light. These coatings have become a key technology in the field of optics. One type of optical coating is an anti-reflective coating, which ...

    Riding a rail, sketched by Andrew W. Warren in November 1864. The first variation of the wooden horse is a triangular device with one end of the triangle pointing upward, mounted on a sawhorse -like support. The victim is made to straddle the triangular "horse." Weights or additional restraints were often added to keep the victim from falling off.

  7. Polarization rotator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_rotator

    A polarization rotator is an optical device that rotates the polarization axis of a linearly polarized light beam by an angle of choice. Such devices can be based on the Faraday effect, on birefringence, or on total internal reflection. [1] Rotators of linearly polarized light have found widespread applications in modern optics since laser ...
