plural of optical activity

A class of glass used to create optical lenses, such as that for spectacles or spyglasses

A photoelastic effect produced by ultrasonic waves in a transparent material.

A photonic device that integrates multiple information signals which are composed of light of various wavelengths.

(physics) The differential Raman scattering of left and right circularly polarized light by chiral molecules.

(computing) The electronic identification and digital encoding of printed or handwritten characters by means of an optical scanner and specialized software.

(chemistry, physics) the variation in the optical rotation of a substance with the wavelength of light

(physics) The transmission of light through metallic films perforated by nanohole arrays at optical frequencies

plural of optical black hole

A phenomenon in which slow light is passed through a Bose-Einstein condensate that is itself spinning faster than the local speed of light within to create a vortex capable of trapping the light behind an event horizon, just as a gravitational black hole would.
