Optical isolator — This article is about the optical component. For the optoelectronic component, see Opto isolator. An optical isolator, or optical diode, is an optical component which allows the transmission of light in only one direction. It is typically used to … Wikipedia
Optical coating — Optically coated mirrors and lenses. An optical coating is one or more thin layers of material deposited on an optical component such as a lens or mirror, which alters the way in which the optic reflects and transmits light. One type of optical… … Wikipedia

Standing wave — A standing wave, also known as a stationary wave, is a wave that remains in a constant position. This phenomenon can occur because the medium is moving in the opposite direction to the wave, or it can arise in a stationary medium as a result of… … Wikipedia
Interference (wave propagation) — Two point interference in a ripple tank. In physics, interference is the phenomenon in which two waves superpose each other to form a resultant wave of greater or lower amplitude. Interference usually refers to the interaction of waves that are… … Wikipedia
