... n. When light passes into a lens, the highly polished glass surface of the lens reflects light at each air-lens interface (lens surface). The erratic reflected light mixes with usable light, detracting from the image. (This is called diffusion.) Lens coatings seek to eliminate this phenomenon, but e ...

Three Lasers Converging at a Focal Point : A Demonstration
... supports. Put the laser on the right in front, then the laser in the middle set slightly back, and the laser on the left back further still. The most important thing to remember is that the beams must be parallel. It does not matter if one laser is closer to the lens than the others. 2. Set up a vel ...

PPT - Tensors for Tots
... Every point of a wave front can be considered the origin of a new circular or spherical wave, the so-called elemetary wave. The new position of the wave front results from the superposition of all of the elementary waves. The Huygens wave front is a series of concentric circles originating from the ...

Modulation Transfer Function
... Figure 1: Illustration of diffraction of light passing through an aperture, seen as wavefronts. Diffraction follows from the wave nature of light, and implies that any concentration of light, like a beam or light passing through an aperture, will spread. It places a fundamental limit on the spot siz ...

F-number
In optics, the f-number (sometimes called focal ratio, f-ratio, f-stop, or relative aperture) of an optical system is the ratio of the lens's focal length to the diameter of the entrance pupil. It is a dimensionless number that is a quantitative measure of lens speed, and an important concept in photography. The number is commonly notated using a hooked f, i.e. f/N, where N is the f-number.
