Un réseau est toute structure périodique qui impose à une onde plane incidente une variation périodique de son amplitude, de sa phase ou des deux à la fois. Dans son principe général de fonctionnement, un réseau diffracte l'onde incidente. [...] Le principe des réseaux a été découvert en 1785 par Rittenhouse [...] Les premiers réseaux furent construits par Young et Fraunhöfer. Le réseau le plus simple est constitué par un ensemble de fentes parallèles réalisant une transmittance en amplitude périodique binaire. Les premiers réseaux d'excellente qualité furent réalisés par Rowland en 1882 (en traçant des traits équidistants sur une lame de verre à l'aide d'une pointe en diamant). Actuellement, on réalise d'excellents réseaux à partir de l'interférence d'ondes planes : ce sont les réseaux holographiques (réseaux sinusoïdaux dont la transmittance est proportionnelle à l'intensité du phénomène d'interférences). 1, record 10, French, - r%C3%A9seau

However, since the device doesn’t actually lase, the mirrors don’t need to be as highly reflective as they are in VCSELs.

La couleur des verres solaires est une question de goût. Il faut savoir que le bleu et le rose modifient la perception des couleurs. Les verres photochromiques (qui foncent lorsque la lumière augmente et inversement) existent également dans différentes couleurs (brun, gris, vert). Les verres «miroirs» qui peuvent être bleutés, argentés ou dorés, permettent de lutter contre la réverbération. Ils sont très utiles dans les sports de l'extrême et sont devenus, grâce à un phénomène de mode, très utilisés en ville. [...] LOUBSOL pour tous les sports d'action : bateau, char à voile, escalade, a conçu un bandeau panoramique haute performance avec 3 écrans interchangeables : fumé traitement miroir, ambre traitement flash miroir et incolore traitement UV 400. 1, record 14, French, - verres%20miroirs
