A method of analysis in which a pulsed laser beam is used to heat a particle, producing a plasma, or laser spark. As the plasma cools, optical energy characteristic of the elements in the plasma is emitted and measured by a grating spectrometer....

Zone of laser operation in which the direct, reflected or scattered light exceeds the laser's MPE and (by ANSI standards)...

An aggravated form of fog in a polished surface caused by the scattering of light. The defects causing haze are larger than...

Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid caused by the presence of suspended particles. These...

A filter, used in photography, that absorbs the ultraviolet and extreme blue violet radiation scattered by atmospheric haze.

A fiber optic sensor is a device that uses optical fibers to detect and measure physical, chemical, biological, or...

Epitaxial equipment refers to a set of specialized tools and systems used in the process of epitaxy, which is the growth of...

Remote inspection refers to the process of inspecting, evaluating, or monitoring assets, equipment, infrastructure, or...

A measure of the closeness with which an optical image is capable of resembling the original object. The factors that affect...

A long-pass filter is an optical filter that allows longer wavelengths of light to pass through while blocking or...

A device, either visual or electronic, that emits signals to identify set positions for use in the navigation of aircraft...

Flow chemistry, also known as continuous-flow chemistry, is a chemical manufacturing process where reactions take place in a...

Eye blink or head movement in response to bright light. Aversion responses such as blinking are sufficient protection from...

The calculated normal distance from a photon source at which harmful interaction with the incident light will occur....

Potential hazards to a system's application and installation, including temperature variations, chemical reactivity,...

An arc flash is a sudden release of electrical energy due to an electric arc — a continuous, high-current discharge of...

Remote sensing is a method of data collection and observation where information about objects, areas, or phenomena on...

Micro-robotics refers to the field of robotics that involves the design, development, and application of miniature robotic...
