OPTICAL AMPLIFIER An optical amplifier is a device that amplifies an optical signal directly‚ without the need to first convert it to an electrical signal. An optical amplifier may be thought of as a laser without an optical cavity‚ or one in which feedback from the cavity is suppressed. Optical amplifiers are important in optical communication and laser physics. There are several different physical mechanisms that can be used to amplify a light signal‚ which correspond to the major types of optical

Rachel Hahn Cheryl Blackwell Seminar November 2012 Optical Illusions An illusion is the distorted perception of a stimulus. They are not to be confused with hallucinations‚ which are false perceptions when there is no presence of a stimulus‚ in contrast‚ illusions are the misinterpretation of a true sensation (Illusion Wikipedia). Illusions are mundane phenomena‚ and are experienced by nearly everyone in similar ways where hallucinations are a personal experience and are typically limited

[pic] An optical illusion also called a visual illusion is characterized by visually perceived images that differ from objective reality. The information gathered by the eye is processed in the brain to give a percept that does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source. There are three main types: literal optical illusions that create images that are different from the objects that make them‚ physiological ones that are the effects on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation

Optical Distortion Case Analysis Introduction In an effort to solve the cannibalization problem of chickens and to find a more efficient alternative for the practice of debeaking‚ Robert D Garison‚ owner of a large farm in Oregon‚ and Ronald Olsen‚ a businessman‚ formed the Optical Distortion Lens Inc. in 1965. They invented a revolutionary product‚ a lens for chickens that would stop the cannibalization between chickens and received a patent on it. In 1973‚ Optical Distortion got into an

The telescope is an important astronomical tool that gathers and focuses electromagnetic radiation. Telescopes serve to both increase the angular size and the brightness of objects. When we speak about telescopes we are usually referring to optical telescopes‚ but many other types of telescopes also exist for other spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. It is unclear as to who it was that actually invented the telescope but Galileo Galilei is credited as being the first to use a telescope for

1. Introduction Blu-ray is a new optical disc standard based on the use of a blue laser rather than the red laser of today’s DVD players. The standard‚ developed collaboratively by Hitachi‚ LG‚ Matsushita (Panasonic)‚ Pioneer‚ Philips‚ Samsung‚ Sharp‚ Sony‚ and Thomson‚ threatens to make current DVD players obsolete. It is not clear whether new Blu-ray players might include both kinds of lasers in order to be able to read current CD and DVD formats. The new standard‚ developed jointly
