  2. Beam splitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_splitter

    A diffractive beam splitter can generate either a 1-dimensional beam array (1xN) or a 2-dimensional beam matrix (MxN), depending on the diffractive pattern on the element. The diffractive beam splitter is used with monochromatic light such as a laser beam, and is designed for a specific wavelength and angle of separation between output beams.

  3. Pellicle mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pellicle_mirror

    Splitting the beam allows its use for multiple purposes simultaneously. The thinness of the mirror practically eliminates beam or image doubling due to a non-coincident weak second reflection from the nominally non-reflecting surface, a problem with mirror-type beam splitters. [1] The name pellicle is a diminutive of pellis, a skin or film.

  4. Kit-of-parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kit-of-parts

    Kit-of-parts philosophy goes hand in hand with advanced manufacturing, automation, and computer and information technologies. Handling multiple identical components as instances of a master element is an efficient use of the computer in the planning stage, and use of standard components can take advantage of mass-production and mass ...

  5. Fiber-optic splitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_splitter

    The FBT splitter is one of the most common. FBT splitters are widely accepted and used in passive networks, especially for instances where the split configuration is smaller (1×2, 1×4, 2×2, etc.). [1] The PLC is a more recent technology. PLC splitters offer a better solution for larger applications.

  6. K-Mirror (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-Mirror_(Optics)

    A K-mirror is a system of 3 plane mirrors mounted on a common motor axis which runs parallel to the chief ray of the system. If looking at the system parallel to the mirror surfaces, where only the edges of the mirrors remain visible, the middle mirror and the front and back mirror look like the backbone and legs of a capital-K; this illustrates the origin of the name.

  7. List of railroad truck parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_railroad_truck_parts

    An axlebox, also known as a journal box in North America, is the mechanical subassembly on each end of the axles under a railway wagon, coach or locomotive; it contains bearings and thus transfers the wagon, coach or locomotive weight to the wheels and rails; the bearing design is typically oil-bathed plain bearings on older rolling stock, or roller bearings on newer rolling stock.

  8. Michelson interferometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson_interferometer

    As shown in Fig. 3a and 3b, the observer has a direct view of mirror M 1 seen through the beam splitter, and sees a reflected image M' 2 of mirror M 2. The fringes can be interpreted as the result of interference between light coming from the two virtual images S' 1 and S' 2 of the original source S .

  9. Foucault's measurements of the speed of light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foucault's_measurements_of...

    The light reflected back from the spherical mirrors is diverted by beam splitter g towards an eyepiece O. If mirror m is stationary, both images of the slit reflected by M and M' reform at position α. If mirror m is rapidly rotating, light reflected from M forms an image of the slit at α' while light reflected from M' forms an image of the ...
