Definition of an optical microscope Optical microscopes, commonly called light microscopes, are essential tools for scientific research and a wide range of industries. These instruments use visible light and one or more optical lenses to magnify images of tiny specimens, allowing for detailed observations that are not visible to the naked eye. By manipulating light …
Overview of Optical Filters An optical filter is a passive optical device that usually consists of a special optical coating applied to a substrate. These coatings change the refractive index of the substrate, allowing the filter to reflect, transmit, or absorb light depending on the wavelength of the incident light. This property is very useful …
Overview of Polarization Cube Beam Splitter Polarization cube beam splitters are crucial optical components in the field of quantum computing and are widely used in many fields such as trapped ions, linear optics, cold neutral atom quantum computing, and quantum cryptography and communication. These beam splitters can effectively process light of different polarization states, provide …

Definition of Meniscus Lenses Meniscus lenses are a special type of optical lens that has two spherical surfaces. One side of the lens is convex (curved outward) and the other side is concave (curved inward). This design makes it thicker in the center than at the edges. Meniscus lenses are widely used in a variety …
Definition of Pentaprism Pentaprisms are an essential optical element used in a wide variety of scientific, industrial, and technological applications. They have two parallel faces perpendicular to the base of the prism and are made of glass or other transparent materials. Because of their unique shape, they can reflect light at a 90° angle without …

Ⅰ The outstanding characteristics of sapphire window Sapphire window is a high-performance optical element made of artificial single crystal aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃). Its unique crystal structure gives it a number of breakthrough properties: 1. Extraordinary physical properties Mohs hardness reaches 9, second only to diamond, and can resist scratches from hard objects such as gravel …
Definition of Cylindrical Lenses Cylindrical lenses are essential components in various optical systems and we also call them cylindrical lenses. This optical lens has the function of focusing light and adjusting the size of the image. Unlike spherical lenses that focus light to a point, cylindrical lenses focus light into a line. This unique property …
Understanding and Manipulating Light Polarization In the field of optical design, people often focus on the wavelength and intensity of light, but ignore polarization. However, polarization remains a key property of light that affects optical systems even when it is not explicitly measured. Polarization plays a key role in focusing laser beams, determining the cutoff …
Introduction of aspherical lenses Our optical components can also be widely used in the field of photography, where the quality and clarity of the image are determined by the quality of the lens. Although spherical lenses are the preferred product in photographic equipment, aspherical lenses also occupy a strong position because of their advantages, which …
