Subject field(s)
  • Optical Instruments
  • Optics
  • Computer Graphics
CONT

Holographic optical elements are relatively easy to make and can function as lenses, mirrors, diffraction gratings, beam splitters, etc., in place of more traditional optical components.

CONT

… the twin-image problem of conventional holography is a direct consequence of the fact that the hologram is recorded on a two‑dimensional surface. Like optical volume holography, which overcomes this problem by recording a diffraction pattern on a thick photographic emulsion, multienergy [holographic crystallography] HXT does so by recording the pattern in a volume of reciprocal space.

Record 4 1999-03-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Optics
  • Analytical Chemistry
DEF

An optical device consisting of an assembly of narrow slits or grooves which produce a large number of beams that can interfere to produce spectra.

CONT

Photoelectric spectrophotometers may be divided into one-cell and two-cell instruments, and also into types using a diffraction grating or a prism in their monochromators.

PHR

Holographic diffraction grating.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Optique
  • Chimie analytique
CONT

Le spectroscope se compose essentiellement d'un système dispersant, prisme ou réseau de diffraction, précédé d'un collimateur et suivi d'une lunette destinée à l'observation des spectres et, éventuellement, à la mesure des longueurs d'ondes.

  • Aeroindustry
CONT

With the D-HUD, a form of holographic recording is used to produce a thin-film lens, covering the whole area of the curved combining glass.(...) This thin-film lens is produced by the use of a laser which records, photographically, a form of diffraction grating within a layer of gelatin which is coated onto the curved combining glass. After processing, the thin film lens is covered by a second glass layer to form a sandwich, with the "lens" formed by changes in the refractive index of the gelatin layer, providing the effect of a diffraction grating.

Domaine(s)
  • Constructions aéronautiques
CONT

Ce nouveau collimateur fait appel à une forme d'enregistrement holographique qui crée une lentille à couche mince recouvrant toute la surface de l'optique de mélange. (...) Cette lentille à couche mince est créée par un laser qui enregistre photographiquement une sorte de réseau de diffraction dans une couche de gélatine appliquée sur l'optique de mélange, elle-même recouverte d'une seconde couche de verre formant sandwich.
