Geometric optics explains how light behaves when it reflects, refracts, and forms images through lenses and mirrors. From total internal reflection in fiber optics to the sparkle of rainbows, these ...

Jenoptik is making its first presentation of polymer optics with an innovative antireflective surface coating to suit a multitude of applications at last Optatec 2012. One of the few vendors in this ...

Visualizing tissues and neurons inside an animal's skull has long been a challenge for biophotonics techniques, thanks to the skull's thickness and the complex structures inside. A team at the ...

Why it matters: AR coatings can reduce reflection losses from over 4% per surface to below 2%, directly boosting efficiency in lenses, lasers, and solar modules. Design breakthroughs: Multilayer ...

The basics of fiber optic cables and bundles and how they can be used to collect and direct light are discussed in ‘An Introduction to a Spectrometer: Fiber Optic Bundles’. This article will discuss ...

When a spectrometer is being configured for a given experiment, one of the commonly overlooked considerations is in selecting the best fiber optic cable. While there are many different factors to ...
