What is Electro-Optics? In the last 20 years or so, the field of electro-optics has become increasingly important. It is often challenging to predict the future of scientific discoveries and their relevant ...

Introduction Everyone knows or heard about UV or anti-reflective coatings on lenses and filters but what are they really and what distinguishes anti-reflective coatings from other types of coatings? We ...

Introduction to Spectroscopy Imaging We have discussed many applications of spectrometers, but how do we attain the final spectral image to analyze? Spectrometers contain varying types of imaging systems ...

Introduction to Prisms Even as early as in the 13th century, six-sided crystals of natural quartz were used to generate rainbows. In the late 1660s, people believed that color was a mixture of lightness ...

Introduction: Acousto-Optic Modulator Optical setups require extreme precision, and researchers must often implement modulators to adjust the frequency, amplitude, wavelength, and direction of their laser ...

Introduction to Electro-Optic Modulators (EOM) As discussed in last week’s article, optics research requires precisely controlling the responsive and unwieldy entity of light. Advancements in electro-optic ...

Adaptive Optics Introduction The field of optics studies the behavior of light – a form of substance with a characteristic wavelengths ranging from about 400 to 700 nanometers for visible light to as ...
