Optical Prism, a transparent object surrounded by two planes that intersect but are not parallel to each other, is used to split light or disperse light beams. An optical prism is a polyhedron made of ...

Some leading manufacturers’ solution to the Pechan-prism problem are special multi-layer reflective coatings that get 99.5 percent reflection on the mirrored surfaces.

SPIE Catalyst Award recognizes significant advancements in environmental sustainability SCHOTT pioneered industrial-scale use of 100% hydrogen to produce optical glass without compromising quality.

An optical fibre is a thin fibre of high-quality glass. Very little light is absorbed by the glass. Light getting in at one end undergoes repeated total internal reflection and is trapped inside ...

A hybrid organic-inorganic polymer resin enables the three-dimensional (3D) printing of nanoscale optical-grade glass at temperatures roughly half of what other approaches require, researchers report.

The optical systems company Zeiss has supplied NASA and the ESA with high-grade glass components for years, including lenses for the James Webb Space Telescope and lunar cameras for the Apollo ...
