  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

    A pellicle mirror is an ultra-thin, ultra-lightweight semi-transparent mirror employed in the light path of an optical instrument, splitting the light beam into two separate beams, both of reduced light intensity. Splitting the beam allows its use for multiple purposes simultaneously. The thinness of the mirror practically eliminates beam or ...

  4. Michelson interferometer - Wikipedia

    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 .

  5. Fiber-optic splitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_splitter

    According to the principle, fiber optic splitters can be divided into Fused Biconical Taper (FBT) splitter and Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) splitters. 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 ...

  6. Dichroic prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dichroic_prism

    A trichroic prism assembly Dichroic prism. A dichroic prism is a prism that splits light into two beams of differing wavelengths (colour). [1] A trichroic prism assembly combines two dichroic prisms to split an image into 3 colours, typically as red, green and blue of the RGB colour model.

  7. 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 ...

    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.

  9. Glan–Taylor prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glan–Taylor_prism

    A Glan–Taylor prism reflects s-polarized light at an internal air-gap, transmitting only the p-polarized component. The optical axes are vertical in the plane of the diagram. A Glan–Taylor prism is a type of prism which is used as a polarizer or polarizing beam splitter. [1] It is one of the most common types of modern polarizing prism.
