  2. Dispersive prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersive_prism

    A dispersive prism is an optical device that uses refraction to split white light into its spectral components (the colors of the rainbow). Learn about the principle, types, history and applications of dispersive prisms, and how they differ from diffraction gratings and mirrors.

  3. Optical glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_glass

    Optical glass is a type of glass suitable for optical systems such as lenses, prisms or mirrors. It contains additives to modify its optical or mechanical properties, such as refractive index, dispersion, transmittance and thermal expansion.

  4. Prism (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(optics)

    Learn about the different types of optical prisms, such as dispersive, reflective, beam-splitting and polarizing prisms, and how they refract, reflect or split light. Find out how prisms are made of transparent materials like glass, acrylic or fluorite, and how they can create spectra, images or polarizations.

  5. History of optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_optics

    Learn about the origins and development of optics from ancient times to modern days. Explore the contributions of Greek, Roman, Islamic, and European scholars to the fields of geometrical, physical, and physiological optics.

  6. Corrective lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_lens

    Learn about the different types of corrective lenses, such as glasses, contact lenses, and intraocular lenses, and how they are prescribed by eye care professionals. Find out how they improve visual perception and treat refractive errors, and the advantages and disadvantages of over-the-counter and self-selected lenses.

  7. Polarizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizer

    A polarizer is an optical filter that lets light waves of a specific polarization pass through while blocking light waves of other polarizations. Learn about linear polarizers, circular polarizers, absorptive polarizers, beam-splitting polarizers and polarization by Fresnel reflection.

  8. Lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens

    Learn about the history, construction, and classification of lenses, which are optical devices that focus or disperse light by refraction. Find out the differences between simple lenses (such as spherical, toric, or biconvex) and compound lenses (such as achromatic, microscope, or telescope).

  9. Chromatic aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_aberration

    Chromatic aberration, also called color fringing, is a failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same point. Learn about the types, causes, and minimization methods of this optical phenomenon, and see examples and applications.
