  2. Conoscopic interference pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conoscopic_interference...

    The point where the isogyres is most tightly curved represents the position of each of the two optic axes present for a biaxial mineral, and thus the maximum separation between the two curves is diagnostic of the angle between the two optic axes for the mineral. This angle is called the optic angle and often notated as "2V". In some cases ...

  4. Autocollimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocollimator

    An autocollimator is an optical instrument for non-contact measurement of angles. They are typically used to align components and measure deflections in optical or mechanical systems. An autocollimator works by projecting an image onto a target mirror and measuring the deflection of the returned image against a scale, either visually or by ...

  5. Topaz - Wikipedia

    Topaz is a silicate mineral made of aluminum and fluorine with the chemical formula Al 2 Si O 4 (F, OH) 2. ... The 2V optical angle in topaz can range from 48° to 69 ...

  6. Electro-optical sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-optical_sensor

    An optical sensor is generally part of a larger system that integrates a source of light, a measuring device, and the optical sensor. This is often connected to an electrical trigger. The trigger reacts to a change in the signal within the light sensor. An optical sensor can measure the changes from one or several light beams.

  7. 2V - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2V

    2V or 2-V may refer to: 2V, IATA code for Amtrak; 2V angle, curved isogyre differences in a conoscopic interference pattern in optical crystallography; P-2V, a model of Lockheed P-2 Neptune; An-2V, a model of Antonov An-2; 2V (V-69), manufacturer's designation for Venera 5 spacecraft; 2VLY, call sign for Power FM 98.1

  8. Position sensitive device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_sensitive_device

    A position sensitive device and/or position sensitive detector (PSD) is an optical position sensor (OPS) that can measure a position of a light spot in one or two-dimensions on a sensor surface. Principles

  9. Etendue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etendue

    Etendue or étendue (/ ˌ eɪ t ɒ n ˈ d uː /; French pronunciation:) is a property of light in an optical system, which characterizes how "spread out" the light is in area and angle. It corresponds to the beam parameter product (BPP) in Gaussian beam optics.
