Camera Lens Field of View (FOV)
Field of view (FOV) is defined as the maximum area that a device can capture. The larger the field of view, the more data can be captured at one time,
Lesson 13 – Diffraction Grating and Wave Plates
With the knowledge of interference and polarization, it is time to talk about the practical applications of both! Diffraction gratings are used to change the path of light and there
Lesson 12 – Polarization Revisited
Now that we have explored light waves, we can dive more in depth into polarization. In how to describe light, we mentioned that sunlight is a form of unpolarized light
Surface Accuracy
Surface accuracy is the measurement of the deviation between the actual shape and the intended shape of an optical surface. Surface accuracy is an important specification of an optical component.

Lesson 11 – Fringes and Interferometers
We left off in the interference post using water waves to represent the interference that occurs between light waves. A well known experiment having to do with interference of light
Objective Lenses
An objective lens is an important component of a microscopy or imaging system for a range of science research, biological, industrial, and general lab applications. An objective lens is located

Lesson 10 – Light Wave Interference
Besides explaining rainbows, why model light as a wave? The particle model of light is usually drawn with a particle traveling as a ray. Just by staring at a candle
