|
| |
| *'''[[:Category:Brightness|Brightness]]''' - the luminance of a body, separate from its hue or saturation
| |
| *'''[[:Category:Color|Color]]''' - the visual perception by humans that derives from different spectrums of light
| |
| *'''[[:Category:Extinction coefficients|Extinction coefficients]]''' - parameters that define how strongly a substance absorbs light at a given wavelength
| |
| *'''[[:Category:Four-wave mixing|Four-wave mixing]]''' - an intermodulation phenomenon in optical systems whereby interactions between two wavelengths produce two extra wavelengths in a signal
| |
| *'''[[:Category:Luminescence|Luminescence]]''' - the emission of light from a substance not resulting from heat

| *'''[[:Category:Optical crosstalk|Optical crosstalk]]''' - when two or more optical communication channels interfere with other each other
| |
| *'''[[:Category:Optical design|Optical design]]''' - the design of optical equipment
| |

| |
| *'''[[:Category:Optical fiber applications|Optical fiber applications]]''' - the uses of fiber optics
| |
| *'''[[:Category:Optical harmonic generation|Optical harmonic generation]]''' - the process by which photons interacting with a nonlinear material are effectively combined to form new photons with twice as much energy
| |
| *'''[[:Category:Optical losses|Optical losses]]''' - light which could have generated power or a signal but is dissipated or distorted
| |
| *'''[[:Category:Optical microscopy|Optical microscopy]]''' - the use of lens to magnify and focus the image of small objects
| |
| *'''[[:Category:Optical mixing|Optical mixing]]''' - the process by which optical wavelengths mix and transform each other
| |
| *'''[[:Category:Optical polarization|Optical polarization]]''' - the polarization of certain materials upon the application of light
| |
| *'''[[:Category:Optical pulses|Optical pulses]]''' - short bursts of visible light
| |
| *'''[[:Category:Optical saturation|Optical saturation]]''' - a point at which further applications of light produce no effect
| |
| *'''[[:Category:Ray tracing|Ray tracing]]''' - a technique for generating an image by tracing the path of light through pixels in an image plane and simulating the effects of its encounters with virtual objects
| |
| *'''[[:Category:Whispering gallery modes|Whispering gallery modes]]''' - where laser light is coupled into a circular waveguide and, with a perfect match between frequency and circumference, creates a resonance
