WordDefinition
interference filternounAn optical filter in which the wavelengths that are not transmitted are removed by interference rather than by absorption or scattering.
optical filterAn optical filter is a device that selectively transmits light of different wavelengths, usually implemented as a glass plane or plastic device in the optical path, which are either dyed in the bulk or have interference coatings.
polarizernoun(physics) Any device that produces polarized light.
infrared cut-off filterInfrared cut-off filters, sometimes called IR filters or heat-absorbing filters, are designed to reflect or block near-infrared wavelengths while passing visible light.
photographic filterIn photography and cinematography, a filter is a camera accessory consisting of an optical filter that can be inserted into the optical path.
monochromatornoun(physics) An optical device, consisting of one or more slits, that selects a narrow band of wavelengths from a broader spectrum.
hot mirrorA hot mirror is a specialized dielectric mirror, a dichroic filter, often employed to protect optical systems by reflecting infrared light back into a light source, while allowing visible light to pass.
graduated neutral-density filterA graduated neutral-density filter, also known as a graduated ND filter, split neutral-density filter, or just a graduated filter, is an optical filter that has a variable light transmission.
color filter arrayIn digital imaging, a color filter array, or color filter mosaic, is a mosaic of tiny color filters placed over the pixel sensors of an image sensor to capture color information.
neutral-density filterIn photography and optics, a neutral-density filter, or ND filter, is a filter that reduces or modifies the intensity of all wavelengths, or colors, of light equally, giving no changes in hue of color rendition.
color wheelnoun(US) Alternative spelling of colour wheel. [(British spelling) A planar circular chart in which related colours are adjacent, and complementary colors are opposite.]
spatial filterA spatial filter is an optical device which uses the principles of Fourier optics to alter the structure of a beam of light or other electromagnetic radiation, typically coherent laser light.
optical coatingAn optical coating is one or more thin layers of material deposited on an optical component such as a lens, prism or mirror, which alters the way in which the optic reflects and transmits light.
dichroismnounThe property of some crystals of transmitting different colors of light in different directions.
diffusernounA device designed to diffuse a scent efficiently.
dispersive prismIn optics, a dispersive prism is an optical prism that is used to disperse light, that is, to separate light into its spectral components (the colors of the rainbow).
band-pass filterA band-pass filter or bandpass filter is a device that passes frequencies within a certain range and rejects (attenuates) frequencies outside that range.
thin-film interferencenoun(uncountable, optics) The interference of light caused by its reflection from both boundaries of a thin film of a transparent material.
wood's glassnounAn optical filter glass that allows ultraviolet and infrared light to pass through while blocking most visible light.
fiber bragg gratingA fiber Bragg grating is a type of distributed Bragg reflector constructed in a short segment of optical fiber that reflects particular wavelengths of light and transmits all others.
