Reflection and Transmission
Snell’s law or the law of refraction describes the relation between the angle of incident of light to the angle of refraction. The first formulation for the ...
Aberrations
A perfect imaging system can image a point into a point. However, any imaging system has some flaws which degrade the image quality, and therefore ...
Spectrometers
Light is more than just beams traveling from sources, it is an electromagnetic wave. Usually, we do not feel the wave property of light and can ...
Prisms
Prisms are optical elements that are made from a bulk of transparent material and some of their faces are not parallel. Prisms are an important ...
Telescope / Beam Expander Modules
Optical telescope configurations provide the ability to magnify the apparent angular size of objects. The telescope is ubiquitous in optical setups and is ...
Off-Axis Parabolic Mirrors
Parabolic mirrors focus a collimated beam into a focal point, irrespectively of the wavelength of the incident light, thus allowing achromatic focusing ...
Lenses and Imaging
Lenses are devices made from glass or any other transparent material, where their surfaces have spherical curvature. Lenses have been around ...
