  2. Optical attenuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_attenuator

    Built-in variable optical attenuators may be either manually or electrically controlled. A manual device is useful for one-time set up of a system, and is a near-equivalent to a fixed attenuator, and may be referred to as an "adjustable attenuator". In contrast, an electrically controlled attenuator can provide adaptive power optimization.

  3. Laser beam profiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_beam_profiler

    The beam width is the single most important characteristic of a laser beam profile. At least five definitions of beam width are in common use: D4σ, 10/90 or 20/80 knife-edge, 1/e 2 , FWHM, and D86. The D4σ beam width is the ISO standard definition and the measurement of the M 2 beam quality parameter requires the measurement of the D4σ widths.

  4. Attenuator (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attenuator_(electronics)

    100 Watt power attenuator. An attenuator is a passive broadband electronic device that reduces the power of a signal without appreciably distorting its waveform. An attenuator is effectively the opposite of an amplifier, though the two work by different methods. While an amplifier provides gain, an attenuator provides loss, or gain less than ...

  5. Single-mode optical fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-mode_optical_fiber

    In fiber-optic communication, a single-mode optical fiber (SMF), also known as fundamental- or mono-mode, [1] is an optical fiber designed to carry only a single mode of light - the transverse mode. Modes are the possible solutions of the Helmholtz equation for waves, which is obtained by combining Maxwell's equations and the boundary conditions.

  6. Π pad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Π_pad

    A Π-pad attenuator formed from two symmetrical L sections. Because of the symmetry, R 1 = R 3 in this case. For an attenuator, Z and Y are simple resistors and γ becomes the image parameter attenuation (that is, the attenuation when terminated with the image impedances) in nepers. A Π pad can be viewed as being two L sections back-to-back as ...

  7. HP-35 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-35

    To extend operating time and avoid wearing out the on/off slide switch, users would press the decimal point key to force the display to illuminate just a single LED junction. The HP-35 calculated arithmetic, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions but the complete implementation used only 767 carefully chosen instructions (7670 bits).

  8. Logarithmic resistor ladder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_resistor_ladder

    A logarithmic resistor ladder is an electronic circuit, composed of a series of resistors and switches, designed to create an attenuation from an input to an output signal, where the logarithm of the attenuation ratio is proportional to a binary number that represents the state of the switches.

  9. Cutoff frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutoff_frequency

    The cutoff frequency of the TM 01 mode (next higher from dominant mode TE 11) in a waveguide of circular cross-section (the transverse-magnetic mode with no angular dependence and lowest radial dependence) is given by = =, where is the radius of the waveguide, and is the first root of (), the Bessel function of the first kind of order 1.
