Paper brightness is typically measured at 457 nm, well within the fluorescent activity range of brighteners. [5] Paper used for banknotes does not contain optical brighteners, so a common method for detecting counterfeit notes is to check for fluorescence. Optical brighteners have also found use in cosmetics. One application is to formulas for ...
Optical brightener is used to make paper appear whiter. Optical-brightening agents use fluorescence to absorb invisible radiation from the ultraviolet part of the light spectrum and re-emit the radiation as light in the visible blue range. The optical-brightening agent thus generates blue light that is added to the reflected light.

Laundry detergents may contain builders (50% by weight, approximately), surfactants (15%), bleach (7%), enzymes (2%), soil antideposition agents, foam regulators, corrosion inhibitors, optical brighteners, dye transfer inhibitors, fragrances, dyes, fillers and formulation aids.
The earliest studies of gloss perception are attributed to Leonard R. Ingersoll [1] [2] who in 1914 examined the effect of gloss on paper. [ non-primary source needed ] By quantitatively measuring gloss using instrumentation Ingersoll based his research around the theory that light is polarised in specular reflection whereas diffusely reflected ...
Advertisement for Ansco Cyko photographic paper, 1922. Photographic paper is a paper coated with a light-sensitive chemical, used for making photographic prints.When photographic paper is exposed to light, it captures a latent image that is then developed to form a visible image; with most papers the image density from exposure can be sufficient to not require further development, aside from ...
Optics Letters is a biweekly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Optica (formerly known as Optical Society of America). It was established in July 1977. The editor-in-chief is Miguel Alonso (University of Rochester). [1] The journal covers all topics pertaining to optics and photonics. Publishing formats are short and rapid ...
The first commercially successful light bulb filaments were made from carbonized paper or bamboo. Carbon filaments have a negative temperature coefficient of resistance—as they get hotter, their electrical resistance decreases. This made the lamp sensitive to fluctuations in the power supply, since a small increase of voltage would cause the ...
