  2. Chirped mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirped_mirror

    With 10 layers about 0.99 of the light amplitude (that is, 0.98 of the light intensity) is reflected. So if a given chirped mirror has 60 layers, light of a specific frequency interacts only with one sixth of the whole stack. Reflection from the first surface amounts to an early reflection with unaltered chirp.

  3. Opaque projector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opaque_projector

    A system of mirrors, prisms and/or imaging lenses is used to focus an image of the material onto a viewing screen. Because they must project the reflected light, opaque projectors require brighter bulbs and larger lenses than overhead projectors. Care must be taken that the materials are not damaged by the heat generated by the light source.

  4. Digital light processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Light_Processing

    Light from the lamp enters a reverse-fisheye, passes through the spinning color wheel, crosses underneath the main lens, reflects off a front-surfaced mirror, and is spread onto the DMD (red arrows). From there, light either enters the lens (yellow) or is reflected off the top cover down into a light-sink (blue arrows) to absorb unneeded light.

  5. Digital micromirror device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_micromirror_device

    The mirrors and supporting mechanical structures are constructed using surface micromachining. [4] The mirrors can be individually rotated ±10-12°, to an on or off state. In the on state, light from the projector bulb is reflected into the lens making the pixel appear bright on the screen.

  6. Overhead projector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_projector

    Additionally, mirrors or other condensing elements below the Fresnel lens serve to increase the portion of the light bulb's output which reaches the Fresnel lens in the first place. In order to provide sufficient light on the screen, a high intensity bulb is used which often requires fan cooling .

  7. Optical glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_glass

    Optical glass refers to a quality of glass suitable for the manufacture of optical systems such as optical lenses, prisms or mirrors.Unlike window glass or crystal, whose formula is adapted to the desired aesthetic effect, optical glass contains additives designed to modify certain optical or mechanical properties of the glass: refractive index, dispersion, transmittance, thermal expansion and ...

  8. History of optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_optics

    The work is concerned with how curved mirrors and lenses bend and focus light. Ibn Sahl also describes a law of refraction mathematically equivalent to Snell's law. [13] He used his law of refraction to compute the shapes of lenses and mirrors that focus light at a single point on the axis. Alhazen (Ibn al-Haytham), "the father of Optics" [14]

  9. Optical aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_aberration

    Monochromatic aberrations are caused by the geometry of the lens or mirror and occur both when light is reflected and when it is refracted. They appear even when using monochromatic light, hence the name. Chromatic aberrations are caused by dispersion, the variation of a lens's refractive index with wavelength. Because of dispersion, different ...
