Revision as of 19:29, 16 April 2014

Topics that deal with optics as a whole, including color, ray tracing and luminescence

Subcategories

Color - the visual perception by humans that derives from different spectrums of light
Optical distortion - the deviation from rectilinear projection in light transmission
Optical fiber applications - the uses of fiber optics
Optical harmonic generation - the process by which photons interacting with a nonlinear material are effectively combined to form new photons with twice as much energy
Optical losses - light which could have generated power or a signal but is dissipated or distorted
