Examples of optical

optical
In the experiment, the focusablity into a fused-quartz might be reduced due to a poor optical homogeneity by a strong striation.
The optical properties of the device can be altered by applying a field whose distorting influence on the liquid crystal opposes that of the surfaces.
Computation also shows that the optical thickness cannot be a factor.
There are several known ways to control the optical thickness of plasmas.
The target stability was studied using the optical backlighting technique.
These changes placed the blue-green beam on the optical axis and the blue beam and green beam at nominally +45" from vertical.
The characterization of these regimes has an obvious interest in calculating plasma optical properties because it provides valuable information.
In the design of shadow system, an ultra-precision rotary optical encoder is mated with ultra-precision bearings mounted at the revolute joint pair.
Some dimensions do coincide with "real" perceptual and response features, such as spatial localisation, movement direction, and optical flow.
This is a useful byproduct of our optical setup which already exhibits a good long-term mechanical stability.
To one input of the detector we direct the optical bits channel which exits the crystal after the logic operation.
Focused reflections can easily exceed the optical damage threshold unless the component positions are adjusted so as to avoid the most dangerous ghosts.
For detection of the result of the logic operation we choose a detector which gives an optical output.
However, using a low-density target material might significantly increase the diameter of the filaments and allow their detection by optical imaging.
Then optical filters are inserted before emission can reach the detectors in order to select the emitted wavelength for a specific acquisition channel.
