OPTICAL AMPLIFIER An optical amplifier is a device that amplifies an optical signal directly‚ without the need to first convert it to an electrical signal. An optical amplifier may be thought of as a laser without an optical cavity‚ or one in which feedback from the cavity is suppressed. Optical amplifiers are important in optical communication and laser physics. There are several different physical mechanisms that can be used to amplify a light signal‚ which correspond to the major types of optical

Case Analysis: Optical Fiber Corporation Introduction Optical Fiber Corporation (OFC) is a financially successful‚ albeit relatively small manufacturer of multimode optical fibers. The company was founded in 1990. The founders were able to enter the market largely on the basis of acquiring patent licenses from larger optical fiber firms. These licenses restricted competition between the entities and provided OFC with instant access to optical fiber technology. In return‚ OFC’s customer

[pic] An optical illusion also called a visual illusion is characterized by visually perceived images that differ from objective reality. The information gathered by the eye is processed in the brain to give a percept that does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source. There are three main types: literal optical illusions that create images that are different from the objects that make them‚ physiological ones that are the effects on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation

serve to both increase the angular size and the brightness of objects. When we speak about telescopes we are usually referring to optical telescopes‚ but many other types of telescopes also exist for other spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. It is unclear as to who it was that actually invented the telescope but Galileo Galilei is credited as being the first to use a telescope for astronomical purposes in 1609. Most people believe that the only thing a telescope does is magnify images. The
