Fusion splicing — is the act of joining two optical fibers end to end using heat. The goal is to fuse the two fibers together in such a way that light passing through the fibers is not scattered or reflected back by the splice, and so that the splice and the… … Wikipedia
Optical transfection — is the process of introducing nucleic acids into cells using light. Typically, a laser is focussed to a diffraction limited spot ( 1 µm diameter) using a high numerical aperture microscope objective. The plasma membrane of a cell is then… … Wikipedia

Fusion power — The Sun is a natural fusion reactor. Fusion power is the power generated by nuclear fusion processes. In fusion reactions two light atomic nuclei fuse together to form a heavier nucleus (in contrast with fission power). In doing so they release a … Wikipedia
Optical computing — Today s computers use the movement of electrons in and out of transistors to do logic. Optical or Photonic computing is intended to use photons or light particles, produced by lasers or diodes, in place of electrons. Compared to electrons,… … Wikipedia
Optical frequency multiplier — An optical frequency multiplier is a nonlinear optical device, in which photons interacting with a nonlinear material are effectively combined to form new photons with greater energy, and thus higher frequency (and shorter wavelength). Two types… … Wikipedia
optical ceramics — Introduction advanced industrial materials developed for use in optical applications. Optical materials derive their utility from their response to infrared, optical, and ultraviolet light. The most obvious optical materials are… … Universalium
