Found via reverse dictionary — words that share a conceptual meaning.
| Word | Definition |
|---|---|
| anti-reflective coating | An antireflective, antiglare or anti-reflection coating is a type of optical coating applied to the surface of lenses, other optical elements, and photovoltaic cells to reduce reflection. |
| optical filter | An 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. |
| conversion coating | A conversion coating is a chemical or electro-chemical treatment applied to manufactured parts that superficially converts the material into a thin adhering coating of an insoluble compound. |
| dielectric mirror | A dielectric mirror, also known as a Bragg mirror, is a type of mirror composed of multiple thin layers of dielectric material, typically deposited on a substrate of glass or some other optical material. |
| optical instrument | An optical instrument is a device that processes light waves (or photons), either to enhance an image for viewing or to analyze and determine their characteristic properties. |
| interference filternoun | An optical filter in which the wavelengths that are not transmitted are removed by interference rather than by absorption or scattering. |
| achromatic lensnoun | (optics) A lens generally composed of two separate lenses, one convex and one concave and generally of different materials, in such a way that the chromatic aberration produced by one is corrected by the other. |
| electro-optic modulator | An electro-optic modulator is an optical device in which a signal-controlled element exhibiting an electro-optic effect is used to modulate a beam of light. |
| dichroic filter | — |
| lens antenna | A lens antenna is a directional antenna that uses a shaped piece of microwave-transparent material to bend and focus microwaves by refraction, as an optical lens does for light. |
| spatial filter | A 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. |
| photoconductivitynoun | (physics) The increase in the electrical conductivity of a material as a result of incident electromagnetic radiation. |
| hot mirror | A 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. |
| polarizernoun | (physics) Any device that produces polarized light. |
| phased-array optics | the technology of controlling the phase and amplitude of light waves transmitting, reflecting, or captured (received) by a two-dimensional surface using adjustable surface elements. |
| adaptive opticsnoun | (astronomy, optics) An optical system in telescopes that reduces atmospheric distortion by dynamically measuring and correcting wavefront aberrations in real time, often by using a deformable mirror. |
| diffusernoun | A device designed to diffuse a scent efficiently. |
| mirrored sunglasses | sunglasses with a reflective optical coating (called a mirror coating or flash coating) on the outside of the lenses to make them appear like small mirrors. |
| optical flatnoun | (optics) A disk of high-quality quartz glass having at least one side ground and polished with a deviation in flatness less than 50 nanometers all over, and a surface quality of 5 microfinish or less; used, in an interferometer, to measure the flatness of other surfaces. |
| thin-film optics | the branch of optics that deals with very thin structured layers of different materials. |
