    This second variation is commonly seen in a double-thimble or "hourglass" form, with two metal cups of different volumes (often in a 3:2 or 2:1 ratio, like a U.S. standard 1.5 fl oz "jigger" and 1 fl oz "pony", or UK standard 25/50mL or 35/70mL combos) spot-welded to each other at their relative bottom surfaces, possibly with a handle between ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Laboratory_for...

    The Swiss Laboratory for Doping Analyses (French: Laboratoire suisse d'analyse du dopage, LAD) is the only anti-doping laboratory in Switzerland. It is affiliated to the University Hospital of Lausanne and is located in Épalinges (urban area of Lausanne).

  4. Waveguide (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waveguide_(optics)

    d. This is the basic principle behind fiber optics in which light is guided along a high index glass core in a lower index glass cladding . The basic principles behind optical waveguides can be described using the concepts of geometrical or ray optics , as illustrated in the diagram.

  5. Output coupler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Output_coupler

    In this case the output coupler may be as high as 99% reflective, transmitting only 1% of the cavity's beam to be used. A dye laser has very high gain compared to most solid-state lasers, so the beam needs to make just a few passes through the liquid to reach its optimum gain, thus the output coupler is typically around 80% reflective.

  6. Coop (Switzerland) - Wikipedia

    As of 2019, Coop operated 2,478 shops and employed more than 90,000 people in Switzerland. [3] According to Bio Suisse , the Swiss organic producers' association, Coop accounts for half of all the organic food sold in Switzerland.

  7. Coupled mode theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupled_Mode_Theory

    Coupled mode theory first arose in the 1950s in the works of Miller on microwave transmission lines, [1] Pierce on electron beams, [2] and Gould on backward wave oscillators. [3] This put in place the mathematical foundations for the modern formulation expressed by H. A. Haus et al. for optical waveguides.

  8. Night-vision device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night-vision_device

    A comparison of I² only night vision (above) and I² plus thermal fusion (below) Fusion night vision combines I² (image intensification) with thermal imaging, which functions in the medium (MWIR 3-5 μm) and/or long (LWIR 8-14 μm) wavelength range. [42] Initial models appeared in the 2000s. [32]

  9. Optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics

    Optics is the branch of physics that studies the behaviour and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and the construction of instruments that use or detect it. [1] Optics usually describes the behaviour of visible , ultraviolet , and infrared light.
