  2. Optical manufacturing and testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_manufacturing_and...

    It involves the use of small particles of grit to grind away small chips of material from the surface of an optical workpiece. The grit particles are known as free abrasives. The particles are added to a liquid slurry, which goes between a grinding plate and the material. Sliding motions between the grinding plate and the material are used. [4]

  3. Anti-reflective coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-reflective_coating

    Other techniques use varying thicknesses of the coatings. By using two or more layers, each of a material chosen to give the best possible match of the desired refractive index and dispersion, broadband anti-reflection coatings covering the visible range (400–700 nm) with maximal reflectivity of less than 0.5% are commonly achievable.

  4. Optical coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_coating

    Comparison of uncoated glasses (top) and glasses with an anti-reflective coating (bottom). Antireflection coatings are used to reduce reflection from surfaces. Whenever a ray of light moves from one medium to another (such as when light enters a sheet of glass after travelling through air ), some portion of the light is reflected from the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasses

    Specialized glasses may be used for viewing specific visual information, for example, 3D glasses for 3D films (stereoscopy). Sometimes glasses are worn purely for fashion or aesthetic purposes. Even with glasses used for vision correction, a wide range of fashions are available, using plastic, metal, wire, and other materials for frames.

  6. CR-39 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CR-39

    Poly(allyl diglycol carbonate) (PADC) is a plastic commonly used in the manufacture of eyeglass lenses alongside the material PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate). The monomer is allyl diglycol carbonate (ADC). The term CR-39 technically refers to the ADC monomer, but is more commonly used to refer to the finished plastic.

    Today, Sabae has over 100 companies that collaborate to make pairs of glasses. Though these studios use cutting-edge machinery to produce new frames made of metal and acetate, most stages still ...

  8. Anti-scratch coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-scratch_coating

    Commercially, anti-scratch coatings are used in the automotive, optical, photographic, and electronics industries, where resale and/or functionality is impaired by scratches. Anti-scratch coatings are of growing importance as traditional scratch resistance materials like metals and glass are replaced with low-scratch resistant plastics .

  9. Crown glass (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    Crown glass is a type of optical glass used in lenses and other optical components. It has relatively low refractive index (≈1.52) and low dispersion (with Abbe numbers between 50 and 85). Crown glass is produced from alkali-lime silicates containing approximately 10% potassium oxide and is one of the earliest low dispersion glasses.
