  2. Light-emitting diode therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode_therapy

    The history of light therapy can be traced back to ancient Egypt and India, where therapy with natural sunlight was first used to treat leucoderma. [3] In the 1850s, Florence Nightingale's advocacy of exposure to clean air and sunlight for health restoration also contributed to the initial development of light therapy for treatments. [4]

  3. Polarization-maintaining optical fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization-maintaining...

    Launching linearly polarized light into the fiber at a different angle will excite both polarization modes, conducting the same wave at slightly different phase velocities. At most points along the fiber the net polarization will be an elliptically polarized state, with a return to the original polarization state after an integer number of beat ...

  4. Low-level laser therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-level_laser_therapy

    The following terms are accepted as alternatives of low level light therapy term: LLLT, laser biostimulation, laser phototherapy, low-level laser therapy, low-power laser irradiation, low-power laser therapy, and photobiomodulation therapy. The term photobiomodulation therapy is considered the preferred term by industry professionals.

  5. Kuramoto model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuramoto_model

    There are a number of types of variations that can be applied to the original model presented above. Some models change the topological structure, others allow for heterogeneous weights, and other changes are more related to models that are inspired by the Kuramoto model but do not have the same functional form.

  6. Light therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_therapy

    Light therapy, also called phototherapy or bright light therapy is the exposure to direct sunlight or artificial light at controlled wavelengths in order to treat a variety of medical disorders, including seasonal affective disorder (SAD), circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, cancers, neonatal jaundice, and skin wound infections.

  7. Ring laser gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_laser_gyroscope

    According to the Sagnac effect, rotation induces a small difference between the time it takes light to traverse the ring in the two directions.This introduces a tiny separation between the frequencies of the counter-propagating beams, a motion of the standing wave pattern within the ring, and thus a beat pattern when those two beams interfere outside the ring.

  8. Homogeneity and heterogeneity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneity_and_heterogeneity

    Homogeneity and heterogeneity; only ' b ' is homogeneous Homogeneity and heterogeneity are concepts relating to the uniformity of a substance, process or image.A homogeneous feature is uniform in composition or character (i.e., color, shape, size, weight, height, distribution, texture, language, income, disease, temperature, radioactivity, architectural design, etc.); one that is heterogeneous ...

  9. Seismic anisotropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_anisotropy

    A material is said to be anisotropic if the value of one or more of its properties varies with direction. Anisotropy differs from the property called heterogeneity in that anisotropy is the variation in values with direction at a point while heterogeneity is the variation in values between two or more points.
