  2. Blue laser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_laser

    argon-ion lasers at 458 and 488 nm [5] Lasers emitting wavelengths below 445 nm appear violet, but are nonetheless also called blue lasers. Violet light's 405 nm short wavelength, on the visible spectrum, causes fluorescence in some chemicals, like radiation in the ultraviolet ("black light") spectrum (wavelengths less than 400 nm).

    416 nm, 530.9 nm, 568.2 nm, 647.1 nm, 676.4 nm, 752.5 nm, 799.3 nm Electrical discharge Scientific research, mixed with argon to create "white-light" lasers, light shows. Xenon ion laser: Many lines throughout visible spectrum extending into the UV and IR: Electrical discharge Scientific research. Nitrogen laser: 337.1 nm Electrical discharge

  4. Verdet constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verdet_constant

    The Faraday effect is chromatic (i.e. it depends on wavelength), and therefore the Verdet constant is quite a strong function of wavelength. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] At 632.8 nm , the Verdet constant for TGG is reported to be −134 rad /( T ·m) , whereas at 1064 nm it falls to −40 rad/(T·m) . [ 7 ]

  5. Steam exploded fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_exploded_fiber

    Steam exploded fiber is a pulping and extraction technique that has been applied to wood and other fibrous organic material. [1] The resulting fibers can be combined with organic polymers to produce fiber composite materials .

  6. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    1 nm – diameter of a carbon nanotube; 1 nm – roughly the length of a sucrose molecule, calculated by Albert Einstein; 2.3 nm – length of a phospholipid; 2.3 nm – smallest gate oxide thickness in microprocessors; 3 nm – width of a DNA helix; 3 nm – flying height of the head of a hard disk

  7. Carbon-fiber reinforced polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-fiber_reinforced...

    Controversially, in 2006, cricket bats with a thin carbon-fiber layer on the back were introduced and used in competitive matches by high-profile players including Ricky Ponting and Michael Hussey. The carbon fiber was claimed to merely increase the durability of the bats, but it was banned from all first-class matches by the ICC in 2007. [37]

    The dashed orange line is for a 53 year old eye, and dotted for a 75 year old eye, indicating the effect of lens yellowing.) Before reaching the retina, light must first transmit through the cornea and lens. UVB light (< 315 nm) is filtered mostly by the cornea, and UVA light (315–400 nm) is filtered mostly by the lens. [20]

  9. Kerr effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerr_effect

    The Kerr effect, also called the quadratic electro-optic (QEO) effect, is a change in the refractive index of a material in response to an applied electric field.The Kerr effect is distinct from the Pockels effect in that the induced index change for the Kerr effect is directly proportional to the square of the electric field instead of varying linearly with it.
