... Good quality lenses in a camera reflect very little light and appear dark or slightly purple. A thin coating of a fluoride salt such as magnesium fluoride on the surface of the lens allows the majority of the light falling on the lens to pass through. The refractive index, n, of the coating is chose ...

It is expected to cover the "65 nm node", and possibly also the 45 nm node. That will be the end. After that, the age of "EUV" (extreme ultraviolet) mig ...

Optical aberration



An optical aberration is a departure of the performance of an optical system from the predictions of paraxial optics. In an imaging system, it occurs when light from one point of an object does not converge into (or does not diverge from) a single point after transmission through the system. Aberrations occur because the simple paraxial theory is not a completely accurate model of the effect of an optical system on light, rather than due to flaws in the optical elements.Aberration leads to blurring of the image produced by an image-forming optical system. Makers of optical instruments need to correct optical systems to compensate for aberration.The articles on reflection, refraction and caustics discuss the general features of reflected and refracted rays.
