Understanding Optical Specifications: Surface Specifications
This article offers a simple but thorough explanation of surface specifications, which is an essential subset of optical specifications and which include Surface Quality, Surface Flatness, Surface Roughness, Power, Irregularity, and Fracture/Chip. This knowledge will help you navigate the complexities of optics terms and enhance your grasp of optics concepts.
Understanding Optical Material Properties
In this article introducing optical properties, we will be discussing learning several important glossaries of optical material properties including: Refractive Index, Chromatic Dispersion, Optical Transmission, Absorption and Light Scattering, Optical Homogeneity, Laser Induced Damage Threshold (LIDT). In the end section, we will also explore the main types of optical materials and their individual characteristics.
