    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diketopyrrolopyrrole_dye

    Diketopyrrolopyrroles (DPPs) are organic dyes and pigments based on the heterocyclic dilactam 2,5-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione, [1] [2] [3] widely used in optoelectronics. DPPs were initially used as pigments in the painting industry (e.g. in automotive paints ) due to their high resistance to photodegradation .

  4. Optical power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_power

    In optics, optical power (also referred to as dioptric power, refractive power, focusing power, or convergence power) is the degree to which a lens, mirror, or other optical system converges or diverges light. It is equal to the reciprocal of the focal length of the device: P = 1/f. [1] High optical power corresponds to short focal length.

    Subscripts 1 and 2 refer to initial and final optical media respectively. These ratios are sometimes also used, following simply from other definitions of refractive index, wave phase velocity, and the luminal speed equation:

  6. Photonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photonics

    The word 'Photonics' is derived from the Greek word "phos" meaning light (which has genitive case "photos" and in compound words the root "photo-" is used); it appeared in the late 1960s to describe a research field whose goal was to use light to perform functions that traditionally fell within the typical domain of electronics, such as telecommunications, information processing, etc ...

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

    In optics and especially telescope making, sagitta or sag is a measure of the glass removed to yield an optical curve. It is approximated by the formula It is approximated by the formula S ( r ) ≈ r 2 2 × R {\displaystyle S(r)\approx {\frac {r^{2}}{2\times R}}} ,

  9. Optics and vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics_and_vision

    Vision of humans and other organisms depends on several organs such as the lens of the eye, and any vision correcting devices, which use optics to focus the image. The eyes of many animals contains a lens that focuses the light of its surroundings onto the retina of the eye. This lens is essential to producing clear images within the eye.
