TERMS
optical materials
Materials that, by virtue of their optical characteristics, are used in optical elements. See crystal; glass; plastic lens.
crystal optics
The study of the transmission of radiant energy through crystals, especially anisotropic crystals, and their effects on polarization.
plastic optics
The integration of plastic materials into optical applications. When the materials are refined into lenses, prisms and mirrors, they serve the purpose of glass optics at a lower cost and a significant savings of weight.
